Temperance
It's easy to see, temperance; the opposite of excess. It's easy to understand too: apply discipline to the moment, as needed, to further the positive outcome. At least that's how I'm defining it. And so I seek to experience, but not too much, I strive not to shy away from suffering, if the cause is …
The Authentic Self
This I seek, this I seek... Seeking the "authentic self", a noble, life-long goal, but... Just what does it mean?!? Many angles, many answers indeed, let's consider a few, Being in touch with our true desire, sense of justice, and what is good and right, the deep-down-how-we-want-to-live each day, Should it be tempered? Perhaps tempered …
Full Flight
Timestamp: 1:41am. Mind unleashed, from the darkness to full flight in a moment. Like a bat of hell, as they say. Intent on a good night’s rest, then from slumber to thoughts racing in an instant. Full effort to restrain, slapped away repeatedly until released, thoughts in full flight, wings flapping like mad, unrelenting. Away …
Bazaar

Share the Love
Appreciation, don’t be stingy with it. When you feel gratitude, express it; if you don’t feel it too often, consider why that is so… Perhaps a shift in your thinking, turning to more gratitude, humble attitude, and patient content with the immediate, here and now, thankful, Share the joy, share the love, GOOD.
The Last Bits
The last bits on the plate, the tastiest remnants of a fine meal, Song coming to an end, passed the solo, final chords, let them resonate, sounds so sweet, Snippets of that last dream, as the images and feelings slip into the ether, Night gives way to the dawn of a new day, light pours …
My People
I’ve felt it pretty well all my life: a connection to those around me. It must be the same for others, I often ponder…after all, we humans are social creatures. Time and circumstance lay the foundation, fruitful soil, allow bonds to form — not always, but frequently enough — something more than shared experience, Common …
