  • what moves you

    There is always a reason,
    there always was.

    A motivation, the initial
    inspiration, an explanation,
    interest, enthusiasm or a
    passion (even obsession):
    what moves you?

    It is a drive. But why?

    More than the where or
    the when, the why began
    the all-consuming interest.

    We all have our reasons.
    We all have our wonders.
    We all have our why.

    Remember the why.
    It is still within you.

  • joy of spring

    Through the winter and all
    those weeks waiting and
    anticipating that which will
    bring the joy of spring for
    such a scant moment and we
    want to rush time as we do
    nothing but hope for it all to
    arrive with the progress so
    slow and the results so spare
    for days and days we crave
    sunlight and heat or tolerate
    April showers for the sake of
    May flowers as if the month
    will make a difference to our
    lives and then the days you
    realize indeed it does and now
    you only want to slow it all
    down for more than a little
    while and enjoy the blessings
    eager tulips bring a mad world

  • Mondays are just young Fridays

    Forever, we need to be aware that there is always more than one source of light.
       We need to be cognizant of our environment as, it changes daily, we shift between the light and the dark.
       It is not always bright.
       Often we are fooled by its presence, or regret that light we didn’t take advantage of. All too often we become captivated by something shiny off in another direction and it takes time for us to realize it was only a distraction.
       We can be blinded by a light instead of guided by the light.
       There is more than one light; which will you choose today?

  • our direction

    We are not always aware of the motion of everyday life, possibly because we are illusively caught up in the ebb and flow, as we strive to keep moving forward.
       There are always so many forces at play — both external and internal — and it truly is a balancing act.
       We may deviate from the path but it should never alter our direction.

  • Mondays are just young Fridays

    There is a lot going on right now:
    individually, collectively or societally.
    Can’t you hear what’s happening
    to each of us, right now, wherever
    we are?
    Listen.
    Are you listening to absorb or
    are you listening to respond?
    Your response or reaction can, and
    often will, lead to action.
    It may also lead to interaction.
    Are you listening?
