For so many men
The claim they love women
Means they’re fond of vaginas
And they miss so very much
Of what it means to
Connect with others and
Understanding love
For a vagina
Is only a small piece
Of what it means
To be woman

Tonight’s #Alliterative #Hakiu
Serious sardines
Samba sanguinely, smoothly;
Solidly sarcastic
I’m just feeling a bit silly tonight. Good enough reason for some alliteration.
Early Morning Anxieties
Fear….anxieties
Like to rise up
Inhibiting my rest
My mind often wakes me with silly fears or concerns. I learned, ages ago, that the best thing I can do is wake, add them to my workflow. My brain then knows that I won’t forget.
This Morning’s #Haiku: Defining Sacrifice
Sometimes sacrifice
Simply feels like the payment
For a greater life
A thought upon waking this morning. I hope your Sunday revitalizes you.
The world afire in rage

This morning’s haiku
The summertime heat
This morning’s air brings relief
With a chance of rain
Interdependence
Independence fails
There’s so much more, please look to

Career Meditation: Accepting what I don’t know
Embracing my fear
Stepping into the unknown
So much I don’t know
I realized this morning how much I’ve struggled with my new job. I’m in a new industry and doing very different work. And i’s been a long time since I’ve stretched myself like this. It’s been fearful, but good. I need to push myself forward. It’s far too easy to settle into easy, no risk, safe work. I need to push through that fear and keep growing, stay alive and vibrant.
Watching the Flash with my son
My son and I have been watching the Flash on Netflix. It’s been a fun little bonding thing.
I love the show. Watching Barry Allen, and the people surrounding him evolve really delights me. And the ensemble of cast and crew gel very well.
We’ve made a pledge to not watch without the other, so that were in the same place in the continuum. Now I need to add that I grew up reading Flash comics. So there are times I see what’s coming since I now the new characters. But they’re done a good enough job tweaking their TV universe that you can’t assume a character’s comicbook identity will track. It’s a clever way to give homage to the DC legacy but not be terribly predictable.
Now, at times they flirt with the edge of cheesy. Every one of their Christmas episodes makes me worry. Though I have a bias about the weird games screenwriters play with any sort of holiday, but they’ve done well so far. Yet, I still wonder about the need for holiday specials, but that’s just me.
Now we’re about halfway through the second season. Netflix has through season three. It’ll be fun, especially if we get more seasons. If not, we’ll then move over to Arrow and keep the DC stream going.
Arguments On The Internet: A Haiku
Online arguments
Publicly correct their faults
So tempting sometimes
Irs so easy to get caught up in how wrong some people can be that we lose sight of our deeper values.
