Mythos & Marginalia

2015 – 2025: a decade of days


open space

  • until we try

    we only want
    we only wait
    wondering if
    it is possible

    we only will
    until we try

    we are only
    human

    there are only
    possibilities

  • Sunday 6:32 a.m.

    The streetcar does not come
    soon enough. A stellar silence
    marks a morning where
    nothing happens soon enough.
    Sunday 6:32 a.m., neither
    a day of rest or recompense,
    an unremarkable familiarity
    blesses these dirty city streets.
    Mornings seem gentle when
    so few are around to take in
    the unlimited inactivity.

  • ask

    Consider communication, questions,
    concerns, topics of conversation
    (in-depth or superficial):
    stay informed. Look at it all
    from every angle. Ask or inquire.
    All answers come with questions.
    Have that conversation.

  • daily

    Dates:
    the important ones
    you remember,
    before and after.

    Consequential
    occasions.

    Some days are
    everyday, some
    are more
    than you think,
    recollect, or
    give yourself
    credit for.

    Every day
    is not
    what it seems;
    the dates change
    daily.

    You change,
    not as noticeably
    or as frequently
    as the pages of a
    calendar or agenda.

    You do
    what you have to do.

    Time is more
    than a collection
    of days
    and dates.

  • slow down

    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.
