2015 – 2025: a decade of days

  • a deeper look

    You need to look closely at what is there. 

    Observation takes time.

    Only a trace of what remains will remind you, again, how it began and why you started. 

    We look at our actions differently as life moves forward; we must. 

    A disappointment one day becomes an accomplishment the next. Each step brings a little more advancement yet, at times, you just have to stop and take a deeper look at what is in front of you. 

    Look past all that has passed. Progress is part of the process. 

    It can be quite humbling. You may need to remind yourself why.

  • “We are what we see. We are

    products of our surroundings.”

                                                        -Amber Valletta

    What do you see?

    What do you feel?

    What do you believe?

    This environment, this day,

    your choice, your way.

    Surround yourself with 

    simple comforts and 

    allow your mood

    to improve.

                       think about

           how you treat one another

             and another      and another

     

                 truly

                         think about it

     

       peace will not happen on its own

     

             limited time and too many lives

           will not prove otherwise

     

       we still have not learned

       nothing has been earned

     

         crisis after crisis

       world-wide        localized

     

             realize

     

         we are not blind to

         injustice and ignorance

               or political will

     

    world peace starts with you

         and you      and you

     

                 and you

                   think it through

     

       let’s make today more than a why

     

             decide      right now

       it is worth a try

     

         we are not damned if we do

         but damnation continues

         if we don’t

    Moments when you ponder, 

       allow the psyche to wander,

               another thought 

         will cross the time. 

     

           A question or fear, 

       however sublime, may 

           takes its place 

    among your earthly concerns.

     

         Scant stanza of a poem you 

    might have heard in the confusion 

    of another day, sound enough 

                   to consider anyway.

     

    Decisions are formed with

         subconscious intent.

    What it means may not be

         what was meant.

    There are flaws in your façade, the image and appearance you have spent a lifetime creating: your perfect offering (as invigoratingly imperfect as it may be).

       What is holding back the light? What is stopping you from experiencing life the way you want it?

       Cracks are not superficial, many times they run deep.  What you see as blemishes and faults, mistakes even, prohibit you from reaching the potential you feel you have (and it varies day-to-day).

       How open are you to the change that may be necessary? What you do is fully up to you; personal choice has its own voice.

       Allow that light in, let it spread. 

       You might feel an enduring difference. If nothing else, you will feel even the slightest shift in your being.
