Flowers in the Morning

In the morning gloom

Daylight still fighting the clouds

The flowers don’t care

AutoCAD Work

I’ve been having fun with CAD the past few days. I’ve taken this handsketched drawing and drawn it up in CAD. Yeah, I’m a nerd, but I find it fun.

A sunny spring evening haiku

As the daylight falls

And its moving through the trees

Springtime marches on

April 29th, A Haiku

Boisterous colors

Petals slowly fall earthwards

Spring ever changing

Standing Upon The Edge

I stand on the edge  

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Where end and beginning 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Tumble into each other 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>One foot in yin 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>The other on yang

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Stars dance around me 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>As I await the sun 

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
