Ownership gives strength
A haiku which considers the importance of owning our problems, and empowering ourselves to find solutions.

Dreams of motion
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Cars and vans, across deserts
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Sunlight’s glaring strength
<
p style=”font-family:"”>The forces of life drive hard
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Each day waking
<
p style=”font-family:"”>I’m the same bed
<
p style=”font-family:"”>With different views
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Outside this glass
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Wheels sparkle in the day
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Transitions happen
Do not give in to fear
Each step of acquiesce
Feeds the beast
Growing it
Face it down!
Demand it sit
Then lay down
Into the dirt
Acknowledging
Your power
It’s always time
<
p style=”font-family:"”>For forward motion
<
p style=”font-family:"”>To step away from my past
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Into my future
<
p style=”font-family:"”>As the present fades
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Into dust
A fly in my cup
Bereft of life and motion
Tea in a new cup
Quite a clever haiku. The fact that the crafter is 8 fills me with joy.

This summer’s fires
I’ve grown weary of the bad air
Longing for autumn
It’s been a challenging summer for us Seattleites. Especially though with any kind of respiratory issues. Really looking forward to the relief autumn is promising.

As one stares upwards
Admiring ornate art
Expressions in stone
Another image found on Bing (it’s from this website. Really interesting work).
I’ve long admire such stonework. The craftsmanship is exquisite, but I’m even more impressed by the mind the conceived it.
In the smoke
I see beauty within
Destruction
The Seattle area has been suffering with unhealthy accounts of smoke. First from California, then from British Columbia.
At dawn and dusk the sun has been this bold orange/red. Stunningly beautiful, juxtaposed against the monumental destruction weight by those fires.
