a simple coffee and pastry well presented brighten the morning
to share history it must be honestly told and accessible
when the skies are blue we are happy; but when we are blue, we are not
we are often told what something is but not to check if it is true
lines can be shaded but if we look hard enough we’ll see the contrasts
the longer we stay in one place, the more it feels as if we belong
to access power we will sometimes need to reach around obstacles
our first reaction in any situation is the honest one
some people show up when there is nothing to see to enjoy the view
for each doomsayer someone (often quietly) is practicing hope
