night sings quietly
leaves continuing to fall
wind chimes at sunset

Some Thoughts On Being A 21st Century Student
I have a few favorite tools that really make school more effective. One: I get my textbooks on Kindle. I have the Kindle app on my computer, plus I have it on my phone and iPad. Having my books wherever I find myself is great. Plus, I can hit ctrl+F and search the whole book quickly. This has been really helpful when I’m struggling to remember “that one command”.
Also, I have Grammarly’s app installed. Being able to spell and grammar check in the browser is a great time saver.
Lastly, I love using Evernote to take notes. I often use paper, and also the note feature within the Kindle apps. But I can scan the papers, and import the Kindle notes, so all of them are in Evernote. Again, being able to search is powerful, and being able to review whenever I have a few minutes of downtime is great.
A Happy Halloween Haiku
disliking horror
I find comfort in children’s

A Friday Afternoon Sight
afternoon motion
underneath the hazy sky
magestic fungus
Saw this gem on my afternoon walk. I’m fond of toadstools.
Danny Elfman’s Creepy New Song “Happy”, Just In Time For Halloween
I’m a fan of much of Danny Elfman’s work. Oingo Boingo and The Nightmare Before Christmas only touch the surface. Reading in Nerdist that he released a new pop song made my morning wonderful. Perfectly creepy vibe for the days before Halloween. Check it out below! (caveat: there are a fair number of NSFW words).
Also, as tomorrow’s Halloween, check out my “An Atypical Halloween” playlist. You will NOT find Monster Mash there! I try to keep things trope-free.
Friday morning haiku
a rip in the sky
dreams fall upon the mountains
tinting the clouds red
Wishing you a wonderful Friday.
A Night Haiku
I embrace the night
rain flows from forgotten roofs
safe inside my coat
Another experiment with Adobe Spark.
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
dawn’s quiet ascent
gracefully over mountains
autumn morning chill
