certain barriers are designed, not to contain a threat, rather us
most of our choices are neither on nor off, but somewhere in between
there is always hope before peeling an orange that it will be sweet
to approach something from a different angle is to see it new
i greet the sunrise halfway through my first coffee the nights are shorter
under one layer is another; and again repeating through time
nature can force us to take a break and step back while it refreshes
we ignore the cracks in the out-of-mind places ‘til something grows there
the daily challenge is to figure out which things are worth the struggle
nature’s graffiti would be a flower growing on an ugly fence
