Maybe I’m just silly, but I see similarities here. Maybe I like Snyder so much because he’s a Jedi Master?
Is This Gary Snyder or Obi Wan Kenobi?

#Insecurities: A #Haiku
Meditating on things that hamper growth. Insecurities fill that for me. Especially as they’re often unfounded and irrational, to the point of annoyance. Well, that’s how I feel when I can step back and look set them rationally.
Writing is one way I cope. Putting them down on paper helps me deeply.
Also, this shows me the power of daily affirmations. Taking the time to deliberately challenge these destructive mental models…actually, proactively challenging them, is important. Stay ahead of the corrosion.
A Happy Birthday Haiku
As I expect most of you know, I have a thing for writing haiku. I actually have a whole blog dedicated to them. They’re fun and packed with meaning in such a small package.
Since today’s my birthday, it seemed like a fun subject.
Anyway, enjoy! And enjoy the day. Seattle’s looking to have quite a lovely one.

A #Monday Morning #Haiku
It’s Monday morning. Are you ready to face the week? Well,I’m rooting for you!
This autumn night: tonight’s #haiku
Leaves in the darkness
As the trees prepare to sleep
Stars peeking through clouds
Today definitely felt like autumn. Wearing sweaters, finding my gloves and scarves, all signs the fall is here. For me, it’s a happy feeling. What about you?
Devouring Rage
We devour rage
And it seeps into our bones
One tweet at a time
A meditation on modern culture. Am I off base? What do you think?

My Daily Haiku, September 28
My feet are moving
I delight in the darkness
A sense of calmness
A Good Morning Haiku
The sun is now up
Forcing its way through the clouds
Life begins anew
Well, I’ve a ton of stuff to accomplish today. Time to rise and engage life.
You ready?
