It’s Never Too Late To Start, It’s Never Too Early, Either

Grabbed the above image from Pinterest. 

Some great wisdom on this image. I often get stuck in “I should’ve done that years ago”, yet can also be paralyzed by “maybe I should wait…”, whether it’s more detail, risk aversion, or just fear of the unknown. It’s hard to avoid self doubt and recrimination.

With all this, I’m re-evaluating quite a bit of my life right now. Questions like “what do I want to do with my life”, “what skills do I want to build”. With that, all of my social media is being evaluated, too.

I need to focus. One of my challenges: all the things I’m trying to do. All the sites that I’m trying to manage, all the communities that I’m trying to be part of.

I expect I’ll drop some of my sites, and move others around. I might even launch a new one. We’ll see.

I want my efforts and resources to be building something. And something cool.

Have you done this sort of evaluation before? How’d it go? What advice do you have? I’d love to hear it.

Freedom’s Conundrum

Freedom’s conundrum

By being unlimited

Discipline saves us

A Sunday Night Meditation

Life moves at this blur
Days blend together quickly
Cherish these moments

It’s hard at times to keep all this mental motion together. I blink and my son’s taller, the other children around become adults. And I age. Gracefully, I’m sure. But with certainty.

Tonight, As Sleep Approaches

Sleep approaches me
The darkness cocooning me
Rain gently falling

A busy day concluded. Time with dear friends exploring one of Seattle’s great landmarks. Now, though, it’s time to sleep. 

I hope your day was rewarding, that it was all you’d hoped it would be. 

Good night, dear ones, good night!

My Neighbors Walking

A little boy skips
His hand in his mother’s hand
Beauty as light fades

Glaring Back At Fear

I find it hard at times
As fears creep forth
Snaring my heart
Corrupting my dreams
Distorting logic
Contorting my focus
Into destruction
I don’t understand it’s allure
And why it captivates me
But I shall refuse it’s temptation
And uphold my dreams

Time to wake

Night is now ending
Though the sun has yet to show
Silence is breaking

Though early, it’s time to wake. Life’s demands, well, are demanding. There always something to do, a challenge to meet, life to live. 


A Black History Month Haiku

Black History Month
We forget the dead, white guys
Just for this month

Seeking out ways to incorporate the these into my daily readings and writing. Are you doing anything creative?

A Good Night Haiku

Tonight’s Good Night Haiku

As the night moves on
And my wakefulness ending
Slumber’s beauty calls

Good night, my internet friends

A Haiku Where I Contemplate A Cyberpunk Future

Slow integration
As we become a hive mind
Will we lose ourselves?

Happy Wednesday everyone!
