A Monday Morning Haiku 

I hope your week meets all your dreams and aspirations. May you find fulfillment, ppurpose and joy. 

Birds Awakened 

This morning’s still dark
Abrupt noise into silence
Birds have awakened

This morning’s first birdsong came while I was dosing. Jarring enough to yank my attention. Does the first bird to speak get the early worm? Ot, perhaps, he gets the girl? 

A Sunday Meditation

Camp Gwinwood Cross

Sunlight piercing leaves
A rough hewn cross pulls my eyes
Birds break my thoughts

A Meditation About Dreams 

Oblivion’s edge
Looking downwards from the moon
Glimpsing into dreams

The interesting “thinks” that came through my brain. 


A Smiling Face In My Office

My bright, cheery friend
Watches me upon my desk
My office’s joy

The Life Affirming Steven Covey’s “Big Rocks” Video

This concept had a powerful impact upon how I see the world. With that, this video was life-changing.

A very basic notion: take a moment and figure out what’s most important. Then act on that. Schedule those things FIRST, then work everything else in.

Nothing more dreadful to imagine than, at the end of my life, realizing I never did what’s truly important to me.

That said, watch this. Then act on it.

Tonight’s Haiku: Buds Become Blossoms

A new testament
The hand of God drifting through
Buds become blossoms

My Morning Meditation

I sit in darkness
Concentrating on my breath
Focusing my mind

Spring Is Approaching

Springtime manifests
Facing down Seattle’s rain
Soon the blossoms fade
