A cold, dark morning
Covers provide resistance
Though I must rise now

Grab happiness now
Sadness is lurking
Eventually it will spring
Grab happiness now
Sadness is always nearby. Don’t wait to grab happiness!
Freedom: Speech vs Lunch
Both lunches and speech
They are striving to be free
Each in its own way
I’ve thought about the intersection of these two conceptions of freedom for some time. Working on capturing the subtle distinctions between the two ideas.
The Cacophony of Vim
This riotous life
A Cacophony of vim
Joyousness of youth
I love all this interest in manual typewriters
I find this new love
With manual typewriters
Deeply endearing
Awoke to rains rage
Where I’d resist the outdoors
I’m safe on my couch
I’m a product of Seattle. So much time in the rain, it defines me. I remember a moment, so many years ago, sitting in my apartment, looking out over Seattle with coffee and a good book. With nowhere I needed to go, nor be, I sat in the window bay watching the rain splatter upon the glass, gravity writing it’s magic.
I Feed In The Darkness
I feed in darkness
Wander the night, consuming
Chocolate fears me
I love the haiku
I love the haiku
Gentleness in the small size
Grace in simpleness
Perhaps you’d figured this out about me by now.
A Reflection on Alan Watts: A Haiku
Straightening out life
Violates its core nature
We must let it be
This haiku is my response to Alan Watts’ quote “you’re only making a mess by trying to put things straight. You’re trying to straighten out a wiggly world and no wonder you’re in trouble”. I find this very relevant in today’s climate.
A Garlic Question
A question of mine
How many cups of garlic
Becomes “too many”?
Ah, I adore garlic, and am not afraid. Fortunately, my wife shares my delight.
