only a shadow
only the light
only confusion
only a night
only a breath
only my own

have the strength
Aches and pains
from another day: physical,
psychological, anything but
understandable.Or avoidable.
It all gets in the way.We all hurt. We all heal,
by and by, in our own time
exercising empathy with others,
as much as ourselves.Compassion.
Understanding.We can only try,
we can only do what we
have the strength for
today, or any other day.We grieve, if need be.
We all hurt. We will all heal.We just don’t know when
or why or how to
deal with everyday
aches and pains.01/22/2024 j.g.l.

it’s time
I think we overlook the
obvious, and underthink
the truth.
We spend so much time
wanting to believe that
we fail to notice we
already do.
But it’s when we put off
what is necessary
because we think it will
happen on its own,
that we should truly
go ahead and do what
needs to be done.

art is experienced
You will be perplexed by the questions or deceived by some of the answers; there are many.
You may not even understand the art, but you shouldn’t be confused by its purpose.
Art is art, in any state or format.
The process and the feelings and emotions it provides are personal.
It is felt more than it is viewed, or read, or watched
It is experienced.
Art is the reason more than the result.01/17/2021 j.g.l.

flaws and all
Every word you write is important.
Each mistake you make — typos, grammatical errors, incorrect word usage, misplaced punctuation — is crucial to your writing on any level.
You learn as you go, many times without trying, knowledge gained through acquisition.
Write on.
Let is out. All those thoughts, feelings, and observations will lead you somewhere. Sentence upon sentiment, you will get there.
If you don’t make a mistake, how will you know how to correct them?
Flaws and all, we are human. Our mistakes make us stronger.01/15/2024 j.g.l.
