Facing Forward, Pursuing Progress
I love this post I found this morning on Instagram:
I’ve often found myself torn between my mind’s competing interests. Recently I figured out that at those moments, THIS is what I need to do: “pursue myself”. Become better, healthier, happier…all those things make for a better life. Much more so than simply getting some promotion or a new job.
Anyway, I wish a happy Friday to you all! May you move closer to your dreams.
a pause in the rain
I head outside to walk
opportunities
Life in Seattle often means adjusting plans in response to the rain. The photo in the featured image is one I took recently, font is Spectral.
The night’s grace appears
Kindness in the dark’s motion
Streetlights; a beacon
There’s a grace to the night, to the calmness brought, to hidden delights, joys unbounded. To rest delivered, and the salvation of our dreams.
as I gaze skyward
those cold little points of light
sing to me of hope
In these violent and cruel times, I seek out hope. I believe humanity has a future, and it’s better than this. I believe….
Find hope at endings
As they’re a new beginning
Always move forwards
As I move through another period of transition, I focus on the possible. I gain energy from that, driving me forwards. Yes, there are frustrations, challenges, and road blocks, but remember the goal. Always focus on moving forwards.
Grace and peace to you my friends!
Cherish each moment. Life’s too short. And there are no “do-overs”.
As it’s Black History Month, I felt it appropriate to remind people of the brilliant legacy of Black Poets. Today I start with the legendary Maya Angelou. Facing down the brutality of her childhood, I see her as one of the great souls of human history. This particular quote speaks loudly to me, laden with wisdom.
collecting my thoughts
seeking an organized mind
fill my life with joy
gift of life
seeking make it great
longing for beauty
dreams arise again
fears, one after another
barren branches sing
