This morning’s calmness
My soul echoes in raindrops
In the puddle, sky
Blog
Waking to Rainfall
Waking to rainfall
Bringing forth feelings of “home”
My soul echoing
With memories of drops
Gently rattling
Roofs and windows
When I, wrapped
Securely in blankets;
This world’s savagery
Still a mystery
Some Memories Hurt
Some memories hurt
Not welcome to remember
So they haunt our dreams
Facing Challenges
Life challenges us
When we rise up and fight back
That is when we grow
Some thoughts on this quote: The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now
“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.
The second best time is now.”
– Chinese or African Proverb
I’ve heard the quote above attributed to both the Chinese and Africans. At some point, I should spend a little time with Google and answer that definitively. But, really, today the origination of the quote isn’t my concern.
At times I get stuck fretting about the fact I “didn’t start this sooner”. I frustrate myself with that mindset, but it became reflexive. And I lose time and energy with this. >0 time or energy on this mindset: too much.
Lamenting the past is a foolish exercise. Living live with no regrets is not about not making mistakes. Rather accepting that mistakes and poor choices are part of the package. Make the best choices you can, learn from the negatives, then move forward. I need to remind myself constantly, though.
If it’s valuable, do it. Start. There is not better time than now. Really!

Found this gem online today. I doth find it most delightful and charming. And it suits me well.
I’m looking forward to finding a use for it soon.
The power of dawn
As mornings are born
Light pours into the darkness
Potential returns
Mornings have great power, setting the tone for the day.
A Tuesday Haiku
Eternal movement
Hands sprinting on these dials
Relentless motion
Burning Out
I’m often weary
Wondering how much to give
Will I have some left?
