Light flickers
Dancing upon lidded eyes.
Glowing life filters through,
Specifics blurred to dreams.
Hints of reality loiter
Carried upon tone and echo.
Demanding call of vacant
Ringing. Summers and friends
Long vanished.
Dusty eddies carry off
All hints of their
Existence.

Taekwondo
For the past few years, taekwondo has been my main side activity. The only larger pieces of my life have been work and writing; perhaps it’s tied with photography. So, I thought it good to share some of what I’m experiencing here.
Most delightful has been weightloss. I’ve managed to drop around 20 pounds since I started. This is more than the martial art, as I’ve worked hard to increase my fitness level, but it has been the central activity. And I’ve developed better balance and strength.
My whole family participates, so it’s been particularly joyful. Plus all three of us have developed good friendships with our fellow students.
So, I leave you with a few things I’m most proud of. Above, you see my red-belt test results. And, below, is a video of my board breaks for the same test.
Modern Life
Tunneling in to this thing called life.
Puzzling singularly of activity and focus.
Dreams fade as fast as old friends.
Birthing the regrets of calm reflection.
