You might have to wait,
and the delay might be
difficult.
You may not know exactly
what it is until it presents
itself and, even then, it will
not be all you are expecting.
But it is what is needed.
It is what it is.
You get what you need
when you need it.
What do you need today?

A penny for your thoughts;
for good ones, I offer a nickel.
Sound advice is often fleeting.
Fate is oh so fickle.
Plans are made, without true
consideration, at 4:18 in the
morning. Promises made
through the silence of the
night, expire without a warning.
j.g.l.
Too many words will confuse,
even cover up, emotion.
When less is said, more
can be derived from
what was meant.
The implications
are not obvious, yet the essence
will remain.
There is plenty to remember.

We are what we are. Formed by where we have come from, influenced by many people along our path, we are the way we are because of cumulative life events.
It all adds up, but is not the sum of our self.
The seasons and the years of our past remind us, often, of where we have been, but that is not it. We are more than our troubles, greater than our achievements and failures, and more significant than we realize.
We need to shift our thinking from what has happened to what can happen.
Look ahead.
Keep changing.
Put the distance between what you were so you can go the distance and see what you can be.
j.g.l.
Violence at night,
a shooting or two.
Sudden death.
Déjà vu.
Homicide
never pretty.
Someone was killed
last night
in this city.
