Some words arrive
too quickly, and you struggle
to keep up, to write them down.
Or remember; thoughts you
can’t hold back, these thoughts
you cannot take away.
Not all pencils need erasers.
Not all mistakes can be erased.
Still we write, and still we try
to express, to love, to believe
and communicate.

Do something
with your time.
Do something
with your life.
You’ve come
too far not to
make the best
of it.
Do something.
Do anything.

Our belief system is as much a foundation, as it is façade.
How you act, how you react, how you interact with all that surrounds you, is primarily influenced by what you believe.
Beliefs can prop you up, or you can choose to hide behind them.
Beliefs can change and, when they do, you will feel the shift.
Outwardly you may appear stronger, but the foundation can weaken.
Change happens beyond appearances.
j.g.l.
A season raises its voice.
February with its unkind ways,
uncertain at first, then sudden
feisty displays. Stubborn.
The past not forgotten and
neither have we, yet ignored
what we know, as history proves
time and again
all we have come to believe.
Speak kindly please, when and
if you can, for this year offers an
additional day of winter’s plan.

When a day has done
all that it needs to do,
its time filled
with meaning and
moments of wonder,
you move more easily
into the night. Comfort.
There will be not
another day like this,
but there will be more.
Enjoy each day
as it is presented.
Come closer. Distance
is only perception.
Our wayward lives
are strengthened by
shared experience
and wanderlust.
