life is like a canoe crossing a still lake
or a small plane flying through a gray sky
afterward there is no mark that it ever happened

When we share our light with others, we do not diminish our own light. Rather, we increase the amount of light available to all.

bone white
stark and empty
the moon watches over us
she is strong enough
to move the oceans
and sad enough
to make a man weep
the moon moves
across the sky
through her stages
as we move
through our lives
changing
stronger at times
weaker at other times
we wax and wane
through our years
blessed by her light
and held in her circle

The best portion of a good man’s life-- his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.
William Wordsworth
Does the orca dream of flying?
Does hawk long to dive down
into the blue depths of the ocean?
Be wherever your feet are, James.
Be wherever your lungs are,
just be present and breathe.
Hawks and orcas are not your business.
james lee jobe
Real kindness seeks no return; what return can the world make to rain clouds?
