In this Life

In this life there are so many things.
Things that distract from other things.
We miss so many things due to things that distract.
Now maybe you think that my speech is directed towards technology and the distractions it brings.
But I speak even of simpler things.
For you hear the ding of a microwave and part of your conversation gets faded.
You suddenly remember that chore that needs to be done, cutting into the time spent together.
Even simpler you see.
Even at night alone in the quiet, solitude your companion.
Even here you will find that the mind wonders.
Following the most subtle of distractions.
Taking our thoughts in a different direction.
For some the distractions found in those quiet moments are positive.
For others there is a battle.
A battle we would be shameful to forget.
Least the battle become our own.

Why Is It

I wonder why is it I wonder!
Why is it? I wonder!
How could it be? I wonder!
When did this happen? I wonder!
Where was it? I wonder!
Is there something more? I wonder!
What did it do? I wonder!
Did something go wrong? I wonder!
Or maybe perfectly right?  I wonder!
I wonder why it is that I wonder about so many things that I take the time to wonder why it is that I wonder!

Strange

Some may find me a little strange.  Just slightly different then the norm.  But please don't forget.  I am just growing into the person I was taught to be.
Many of you that are reading these words contributed much to the person I have become.  While at the same time contributing to the person I am still growing into.
For the part you played, to each one I say Thank You! A strange bird some may find me but to you that know. A beautiful bird I have become although strange I still may be.
