We all seem to be rushing
somewhere. The time goes
so fast, and there never seems
to be enough of it.
It comes with the season
and the obligations and
commitments we, many times,
bring upon ourselves.
In the midst of the madness,
find a moment or two for
stillness. Take a bit of time
to slow down.
Do what you are doing with
more attention and greater
intention.
Clarity is accomplished at a
reduced speed, with less
pressure, and more pleasure.

Daily we make up our lies with
pieces of the truth, indemnifying
ourselves from the current reality.
Hesitancy takes time, various stages
of indecision come back to hinder.
Arbitrary illusions provide a depth
only the imagination will grant.
Seize the moment, the inspiration,
in the obvious unaccounted for.
Can you face up to the falsities?
Time heals all wounds, but only if
you loosen the bandages, only if
you believe you have been hurt.

Every day is practice
for something larger,
or more
specific.
We go about the hours
uncertain of anything,
except the fact
we are here.
It is as temporary
as it is purposeful.
Learn as you go.

How can we decipher
messages not intended to
be understood? Spoken or
implied, there must be meaning
in the recurring madness,
so much so that we fail to notice.
It happens. Mixed messages.
It becomes routine.
The everyday ambiguity
is ominous. Where is the
clarity we once expected? Who
has time to define
what they mean, when we
obviously do not comprehend the
questions, let alone an answer.
We cannot think clearly,
if they do not speak clearly.

your thoughts change
different thoughts
varied thought
minute to hour
day by day
your own thoughts
your own way
you own your thoughts
your thoughts can change
or change you
change your thoughts
change your mind
change your ways
change with time
take time for thought
change of thought
sometimes a thought
is all you’ve got
