Mythos & Marginalia

2015 – 2025: a decade of days


open space

  • we all have to answer

    Is it a question of the ages, 
    or something asked of each 
    generation?

  • get inside

    It is all on the surface, and below.
    Life, love, fear, anxiety, emotion
    blended within the pigment or 
    the performance.
    Look closely. Get inside. Find the 
    feelings. It is all right there.

  • haiku 4 you

    It’s not all black and white.

    Which choice will you make?

  • that kind of love

    We need
    more love
    selfless love
    compassion personified
    empathetic examples
    of sharing
                        and caring
    That kind of love
    Do not doubt the need
    Do not doubt the time
    but 
    make time
    for love
                          Self-love
    Begin there 
    then share
              Care
    more for each other
    Be good
    to each other
    Be good
    to one another
    More love
    Begin today
    Begin with your self
                    Love
    how you would
    like to be loved
    Do not doubt the love
    do not doubt the need
    do not doubt
    each other

  • acceptance

    Never underestimate 
    the power of a six-buck bouquet, a
    shared newspaper or gift of a pencil. 
    Simplicity. Given, without expectation.
    Demand comes to all-too-easy in days 
    that move with unintended velocity 
    and mixed emotions.
    To put a price on kindness is
    to devalue a gesture or sentiment.
    Everything comes with a cost, perhaps
    even at a cost. You should not ponder 
    it’s worth, or yours. Words, at times, 
    are not easy. Acceptance can be difficult.

    Remember to say thank you, 
    as you give or are given. Gifts 
    do not need to be boastful. Gratitude 
    need not be uncomfortable, 
    it should, however, be memorable. 
    We often forget kind words, flowers 
    after they have wilted. Tossed away.
    Small blessings are not short lived,
    there to remind us more of 
    who we are, Not what we have. 
    To receive is to give. 
    Acceptance is realization of truth, 
    or trust. Or thought. Remain thankful.
