Been going a million miles an hour for long while feels like, and now it’s time to, SLOW DOWN… Slept in, lounged around lazy, deep breathing, allowing the slow to seep in deep, Then laundry and dishes and some personal book-keeping, All the while gentle, calming music in the background softly playing, maybe Mozart, maybe …

Soon To Return
Soon to return, to the woods, the trails, the outside, the green and rocks and light, GOOD.
Fam First
Gotta say, it’s fam first. I’ve been working some 34 years now, grinder most all those years, Most frequently wiling to put my own needs aside for the company, the business, And I’m still instinctually of that mindset. Bit with three school-age kids, single parent, well, when I’ve got my kids, it’s gotta be Fam …
Selfless Perseverance
No matter the difficulty or struggle, To your last breath, Remain undaunted, Rely on your resilience anew, Onward.
Swirl
In the dark again, Seeking good rest, fleeting, Thoughts spool up quickly, random, My choice, what to do what to do, Assert, ascend in the moment, Take back the mantle of control, insist, Scribble down Reese words, way forward, Adjust in the dark, eyelids flutter, better, Let the moment pass, let the moment pass~~~
Second Half
The day waned on, Slowly it dawned, On my slow-moving head, DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME, Maybe at root, Tho’ I tried to anticipate, accommodate, Bumpy came, Bumpy was, Bumpy did me in, Almost! But not complete, Lessons learned, Again, Lessons learned, GOOD.
First Half
Bumped along, Tried figuring, What was sideways, Why upside down, This day? Did this and that to adjust, Accommodate, but time kept clicking on, Son kept digging in, Everyone, lethargic, First half, meh~~~
Bonus Post: Happy Birthday, Howie Lud

Fine Line
So oft’, A fine line, Push for voice, Too much, Simply settle, Left on table? Eruption, extreme, Not worth it, Tears, angst, Too much? Not sure, Fine line, Walk it, Daily, GOOD.
Quiet
Funny thing, quiet, need it sometimes like air, fundamental, yearning, Funny thing, how hard it is for kids to quiet down at the end of the night sometimes, Funny thing, sometimes too quiet, like when I’m alone at home, need the radio on, Jazz or Classical softly playing, almost quiet still, Quiet, oh how I …
