Friday Morning FYI – 7/3/2015

Ron Delaney Jr3 Comments

Welcome to your Friday Morning FYI – I’m-on-the-other-side-of-the-planet-and-have-no-idea-when-this-will-go-live-Part-2 edition! – my chance to share observations/wisdom/rants in short, easily consumed form.

This week’s FYI is about the strangeness of duality:

When someone else hates something you love, that thing can be considered bad and good at the same time. If it’s a problem for you two (or even just one of you), you need to uncover which it really is, thereby figuring-out who’s right (not that being right is the important thing). There can be no compromise on this, so don’t go nuts looking for one. Just figure it out and go from there.

Where am I?

Temporary roommates still asleep in their rooms, I can’t get up and out because I have no key to get back in. Need to wait for them to get up to sort that out. MEANWHILE, the thoughts doth run!

——————————————

 
It’s a Saturday, and I’m on the other side of the world…

… Not in the coffee shop, gently handed a tea.
Not by the fireplace, the perfect spot for me.
Not hammering away at my new book,
Not having laughter distract me from work.
Not looking out on the slow river low,
Not knowing whether to stay or to go.

 
It’s a Saturday, and I’m on the other side of the world…

… In a small room, typing away.
Sheltered from the heat of the day.
Soon I’ll emerge, and go and explore
In part to escape the snoring next door.
And to distract from where I might be
Jealous about a trip to the trees.

 
It’s a Saturday, and I’m on the other side of the world…

… Planning the train route to go and view art
While wondering about my greater part,
My focus blurred by the echoes of steps
And the fall’s howl, stuck hard in my head.
Lingering visions of lavender and peach
Within arms length, but just out of reach.

 
It’s a Saturday, and I’m on the other side of the world.

Welcome to your Friday Morning FYI, my chance to share observations/wisdom/rants in short, easily consumed form.

This week’s FYI is all about keeping it simple:

If you ever wonder if you’re over thinking something, you are. Life is not nearly as complicated as we make it out to be. When it is, it’s because we’ve made it so. Just talk and listen. Especially listen.

Welcome to your Friday Morning FYI, my chance to share observations/wisdom/rants in short, easily consumed form.

This week’s FYI is inspired by a recent series of conversations with an iceberg (read on, it’ll make sense):

Some people are dull as laundry, while others are forces of nature. If you listen to someone, they’ll tell you (through and below their words) whether they’re a dirty sock or a tornado; a sullied pillow case or an eclipse (even if they don’t know or believe it). Which you prefer is up to you. I’ll take the force of nature every time.

Welcome to your Friday Morning FYI, my chance to share observations/wisdom/rants in short, easily consumed form.

This week’s FYI is about being open instead of sheltered:

There are amazing, kind, funny, brilliant people all around you-but along with your eyes, your mind must be open to see them. Get out of your head and into the world.
