some days
I cannot tell
if I am conquering worlds
the new boss queen
of Jupiter
or whether I am
a delusional ostrich
wearing goggles
silk scarf slung
around my neck
dreaming I can fly

Never before…until now
had I appreciated the power of living words
that fall- squirming onto paper or glowing screens
then crawl through windows unto the canvases of souls
where they sing and dance…….forever
I never fully appreciated the liberty of words
….until now

Happy three-lining!
For the NaPoWriMo prompt.
When we write a thing
of joy or grief
a falling leaf
an absence beneath
the roof
the way the light plays
on still water and water rippling
insect-stippling
or the slashed
cross-hatched rain
across the window again
when we write the words of you and me
we
the cat lying in the sun
an unknown whose life is done
when we write the song of birds
and lamentations near and far
they are
poems.
Some people have said that they look up to me. Please don’t. I’m just as human as you are. I have failings. I have failed. But I keep moving forward. At times, it’s just small steps. Eventually, I get where I want to go. This works for me, helps to better me. It doesn’t make me out to be something special, just facilitates my self-improvement.
It’s something you can do too.
Come and enjoy Dwight’s – No Greater Love
Yesterday we heard of another shooting in a Jewish place of worship in San Diego, California. One of the women there stepped in front of the gunman and took the bullets protecting her rabbi who was helping children escape. It is so sad that we still have not learned to live in harmony with one another. When will we ever learn?

“People never want to be told anything they do not believe already.”
James Branch Cabell
Just smile.
Everyday!
Sounds simple. And yet we forget to do that for ourselves. It is the little things that can turn your day around. And a smile, for yourself, could turn out to be one of the most positive things you do. And the ability to smile through troubles or life makes you a stronger, happier person. Have a great day, everyone!
