Facing Forward, Pursuing Progress
Often sleep damaged
When we try to cram our souls
Into other forms
Life is hard enough without trying to force ourselves into something we’re not. Finding a place of deep love and compassion for ourselves is a key step to everything peace and tranquility.
Begin each day strong
Focus on what you do well
Facing down your fears
Thriving on rhythms
Predictable patterns help
Free me from stresses
Chaos stresses me, for good and for ill. Looking back, I once believed I was adventuresome. Now, I see my delusion. Joining the Navy wasn’t radical. Well, I was born in a Naval hospital. There was nothing more known to me. Interesting this notion, embedded within my skull, that this adventure seeker persona was what I was supposed to be. Thus I always presented myself that way. Certainly believed that I was. Now I’m pleased with my domestic persona. That I’m stable, steadfast and sturdy. Funny that my career is full of change elements. And unsought for ones, too. But that’s another post.
Massive ignorance
Even if we learn daily
So much left to learn
Welcome to today
At the middle of the week
Promise keeps growing
Ah, the middle of the week; bearing it’s challenges. May you continue to go forward, grow and expand in knowledge and wisdom.
Peace to you all, my friends.

Danger in offended rage
Most toxic of poisons
Seeps into our marrow
Boiling, burning away joy
Leaving nothing by charred
Remains
I learn so very much
When I shut up and listen
I wish I knew how
To do that
More often
Embracing your dreams
Live a life filled with purpose
The reward is joy
