For days we sailed upon whims, following fascination and laughing at life. We washed the week’s concerns with appreciation. Plan outward from the essential and the eventual unfolds. The climax of your story is the middle. Nobody wants to live the end again. When you plan to be rescued and the savior is right there, … Continue reading »

The math of meaning
The moderate lands between desire or dearth, and satiation or surfeit, no equation needed. We all stand slightly beside the point. So we seek each other along the slopes, following our echo. To choose your plan, on what to pursue, and how to get there, powers your attitude. Fulfillment expands the space within, and success … Continue reading »
Headwinds on a precipice
Fear should help locate a safe way forward. It should not let you not stall at all. Instead, inspire us to find a way to forge through safely yet changed. You rarely leave anything important unscathed. Avoidance is transitory. Accept the inconvenient but honest instead of the excuse you prefer. But don’t praise your fortitude … Continue reading »
What we think others think
Restful without worry, comfortable with the balance of fun, and touches unessential but done for fruitless tradition seeding none. Focus on the worthwhile to hedge regret when someone later asks. Fiction lives forever. Reality ever changes it’s story. Words teeter common assumptions, skirt around the cause to change, concentrate on effect, linger on the principles, … Continue reading »

Our reality is part assumption, part affirmation, and part discovery. We need to lead by knowing where those who follow … Continue reading »
Sprout at the headwaters
We each live like flowers, unique yet composed from the same parts of the plant we stem from. Some alone others in clusters, some bloom once, others again. Some never open. Whatever we pass on grows into its own. On the banks of thought, we evade the momentum flood, and find the feeder springs though … Continue reading »
The argument ends in a tie

Not that which happens to other people, but those that hold you accountable for your bad actions. Expertise accumulates but also expires. After the facts, and suggestions, you compromise the … Continue reading »
The long run reward
Dust off the fuzz off the lazy days, earned rest in spite of life’s continuing on, with intentions left unfilled. Is rest so expensive we need to waste daylight for it? Make sense of old fiction, delivered as fables, while leaving new realities to chance; to relax seems a wasteful option. Lean in close to … Continue reading »
End game
Surprised by gravity, at the end of an unwilling commitment, we traveled in silence, for years we passed through it. Spurts of work dispersed intention. Meander and fade with inspiration. End up achieving something at least. While reconsidering it to infinity. Why explore what we created to verify what we built is still the best? … Continue reading »
