thoughts – three good words

slow down

What’s one small improvement you can make in your life?

Breathe.
That email can wait. Yes, it can.
Take real breaks.

Put your phone away at least one hour before you go to bed.

Slow down.
Enjoy the little things.
Make good moments.

Time is the one thing you will not get back again.

watch & learn

Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life.

Sometimes, a positive comes from observing a negative.

A warning ignored, a talent wasted.
A life lived in quiet desperation due to choices made rather than inclination.
And then of course: pattern recognition.

That moment of understanding: Not That. Definitely Not That.
Little lessons learned on the way.

know thyself

What does freedom mean to you?

Like Truth and Love, there’s wanting it and having it.

It shows you who you really are.

1.01

I am growing my garden

Tomatoes, potatoes
Carrots and peas
Pumpkins and squash
An orange tree

Lemons and roses
Flowers for bees
And apples in the orchard

I am growing my garden

Tending and touching
Digging and cutting
Laying out straw
Hoping the slugs don’t eat it all

I am growing my garden

Now the world broke apart
and is ready to fall.

Listen…

This space where
rather than converse
we talk write text
at each other
not to, forget with
one / another

masses of individuals
so many I-s so many Me-s
screaming soundless
endlessly into the void

hoping for a response
but all that bounces back ping-ping-ping
is the echo of our own voices ding-ding-ding
ricochets and rebounds
off of each other

over and over and over and over and over
(why am I so tired?)
and over again
until the onslaught of words
congeals;

that deafening silence.

In the distance
longed for desperately
written about once again
murmurs of actual conversation –
