A Wednesday Morning Meditation

what does the sun risk

climbing up eastern mountains

quiet autumn morn

Is a rather cool autumn morning just north of Seattle. Grey skies filtering sunlight. For me, this is peaceful and calm.

How is you Wednesday shaping up?

A good night haiku

daylight fading

street lamps blink on

birds now silent


I delight in the night. Flickering streetlights are their own poems, no?

Monday Morning Meditation

gracefully over mountains

autumn morning chill

Autumn Daisies

though expecting rain
the daisies are unimpressed
within the cool air

On my walk I noticed these fellows resisting autumn’s influence. Though lots of rain predicted for today, it remained remarkably dry. These daisies seem rather pleased.

breeze stirring the fallen leaves
memories drift past

Balmorhea’s Masollan

Balmorhea

I discovered Balmorhea a few years ago but only came across “Masollan” recently (earlier this year). I’ve become very fond of it. The instrumentation is exquisite. Electric guitar and bass with drums, violin, cello, and upright bass? I find it delightful. The ethereal way the melody floats above the harmony vibrates within my soul.

Thursday Morning Haiku

shades of red moving

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Daily Haiku : Walking in Sunlight

feeling the autumnal breeze

the highlight of this evening
spying these mushrooms

Seth Godin: I Hate This Restaurant

I always appreciate Mr. Godin’s insights. Today’s blog post reminds me of something I’ve long thought about: understanding what you, and your business, offer the world. If you try to please all people, well, you aim for the middle and become a commodity. That only seems profitable by the large, mega-brands that can operate on huge scale. Most of us need to focus on the niche, on being unique. This requires creativity and insight. Those that master this space impress and inspire me.
