there's always something
When do you fix or replace objects?
hot water steam
boiling over
the old cooktop
…
we need to look at
and pay extra attention to
as time goes on
since we will eventually
have to decide
whether if we want
to repair or replace
moving around
When was the last time you moved?
open the box
an old home meets
new stewards
…
makes us
come to terms
with the fact
that the concept
of home is less about
the location and more about
the emotions it harbors
stacking bricks
What work are you doing today?
red leaves
brushing through
the empty park
…
every day
we get to
build upon
or chisel away
at the work
that was done
yesterday
what's new
What have you been up to lately?
block by block
the merchants rest
on mondays
…
with us
depends
on who we
are leading
are learning
are mentoring
are growing with
tip the scales
Are you working with or against yourself?
finding
traces of salt
on the water
…
one hand
holds freedom
the other
holds captivity
and we control
which way
the scale goes
limited edition
What is rare to you?
grey cardboard treasures,
legends frozen in still frames,
memories rebound
…
while out of our control
things such as time
condition
variations
and errors exist
we hold onto what we
believe is valuable
the last marathon
When do you have second thoughts?
the turning leaves
waving goodbye
to summer
…
we choose to run
will no doubt have moments
of second thoughts
and exhaustion
creep into our mind and bodies
before, during,
and after the race
load the car
What does being prepared mean to you?
summer camping
a group of bears
fight for chocolate
…
what if
we had boxes
to categorize
where things go
instead of just winging it
and throw things
in the trunk?
make better
How do you make the world a better place?
moss covered
stone lantern sees
garden seekers
…
the movements
we start don’t have
to be large
as long as they
inspire us
to be the change
we want to see in this world
permission
What are you allowing yourself to do?
afternoon train
stop and go
the rhythm of life
…
happiness
is our choice
sadness
is our choice
everything we decide
is our choice
and it comes from within
what we think
What opinions do you have?
fish scatter
as the net sinks
to the bottom
…
is a work of art
is what others think
is a piece of trash
provides opinions
and opportunities
to learn the why
behind them
write to write
Has your why changed?
ink meets paper
a friendly hello
in my journal
…
the reason
or reasons
why we choose
to do something
at the beginning
may or may not change
over our journey
