As the daylight falls
And its moving through the trees
Springtime marches on

Boisterous colors
Petals slowly fall earthwards
Spring ever changing
Standing Upon The Edge
I stand on the edge

Friday night haiku for April 26, 2018
Staring down the road
Much potential before me
The newness of spring
Anand Giridharadas’ TED Talk: A Letter To All Who Have Lost In This Era
I love well crafted writing. Mr. Giridharadas’ letter, read below, gracefully captures one of America’s most painful divisions. I, like him, get very excited by all the possibilities within the coming culture. I forget, also, the many who find their identity challenged, status eliminated. Perhaps illusions shattered. Many of us find it easy to gaze down our spectacles at these people. Doing so damages our witness, denies the hope that I long for. What place exists for these folks? And if we truly value compassion, we need to look at this with a honest, self-aware gaze.
A #Thursday morning #haiku
A night of poor sleep
Dawn without mercy moving
Relentless motion
The curse of inadequate coffee
The curse of inadequate coffee
Obligingly sipped amidst family or coworkers
Eventually I will seek out a cafe of quality
Pastries accentuating the fragrance
Of fresh roasted delight

Easter Day. Mid-Afternoon
Today’s garden walk
With children’s delightful fun
The blessings of spring
Easter Morning, 2019
These weird connections
Resurrection and rabbits?
And eggs with tie-dye?
May you find blessedness this day.
