That which is not understood is
no less influential, or profound,
than the obvious.
Feelings remain, even those you
may choose to ignore, even when
they are not wholly appreciated.
It is not indifference, though it
is difficult to compartmentalize.
Perception takes precedence over
what is there and provides greater
consideration. Conscientously.
Patience is a relative requisite.

If only because I am curious — or seeking contentment — that I allow myself to engage in activities I have put aside for too long.
This, now, only an attempt to remind myself that this creativity I often feel is not inert but needs a greater outlet or more enlarged palette.
A concentrated effort.
A sketchbook, watercolours or gouache and ink, coloured pencils, crayons, pastels at the ready. No expectations: taking time for non-judgemental art, daily for a while, just to see what I can do. For no other reason than indulging myself when I need to.
I need to more often.
Summer allows for longer days and finding time for yourself; always hoping to find contentment.

Be yourself. See yourself.
See others for whom they are.
Acceptance requires an open mind,
and an open heart goes a long way in
the day-to-day ways life presents itself.
Find your peace.
Recognize others as they too find their
own place on this planet. Peace.

Common sense communication:
more difficult to understand
than it is to appreciate.
Speak your mind,
listen closely, take your time.
What do you want to say?
What do you need to hear?
Do your vulnerabilities
get in the way?
Pay attention to your senses,
expression surpasses language.
