Reflecting From Stone
Staring at myself
Wetted marble captures me
As I seek balance
If you’ve been to Seattle’s Pacific Science Center, you’ve probably noticed the marble sphere balanced upon water. A perfect equilibrium which allows for an ease of motion; it can be shifted with one hand.

Poetry’s Power
Once I was told
Poetry’s power
Comes from framing
Life so uniquely
That people see
Truths they’re hiding from
Experimenting with using the graphic to separate my prose from the poem. What do you think?

A Haiku As I Listen To Satie
Listening to Satie
These binary colored keys
Dancing summer light
I always envision Impressionistic artists as I listen to Satie. Just seems so perfect. Like Bach in cathedrals.
Success leaves clues: I seek them
Always keep growing
Study other’s successes
Yes, success leaves clues
I refuse to stagnate. I seek growth.
Success Leaves Clues
This morning I woke early. It was not planned (generally isn’t).
I brain-dumped on how I could be managing all my projects better. All the things I think I could do better.
I realized how weird it might be to get excited about this.
Remember: I’m focused on growth. I don’t want to be focused in maintaining an illusion of perfection. If there are no challenges in my life, I’m not challenging myself. I’m not growing. I have no interest In staying in that state. Now, I admit that there’s something to be said for a stresses existence. And there are times I wonder why I do THIS to myself.
I want to grow. I want to do better each time. That doesn’t happen by sitting around congratulating myself.
So, yeah, I’m pretty stoked about my analysis. There are things to grow. Success leaves clues. I spent time looking for them.
Today’s Meditation: Exploring Mission
I seek something greater
A life of energy, joy and passion
Owning my mission
I want a richer life than simply chasing empty ambition.
Forward Focused
I now face forwards
Into tomorrow’s sunlight
Working together
A piece of my life’s mission: bring people together.
