the passage of time
sun and rain changing so much
yet beauty remains
I found this door on a recent trip to Port Townsend, WA. The marvelous character of this worn door spoke to me. All things age. Where do we find our grace?

For me, this is a famous and well-known quote. However, not everyone spends as much time with martial artists as I do. This came up in conversation today, and my friend hadn’t heard this quote. So, I thought it would be valuable to share.
I think this is particularly relevant today. Our fast-paced, manic, ever-shifting world being fluid and able to adjust is a critical career skill now. Be formless, take the form of wherever life takes you. There’s value in that.

I love xkcd comics! With the recent hurricane, I thought this was rather timely.

Anyway, you should subscribe to them. Now!

My pen and I
I love early mornings, before anyone else is awake.
Living: grace’s gift –
To feel sunlight on your face
And the evening rain
A barista at my favorite local coffee shop had this phrase on her t-shirt yesterday: “What Goes Around Comes Around”. That inspired me to create this one in Illustrator. I haven’t used it as much as I’d like, so finding reasons to open it and mess around always feels good.


Pulled this together with Photoshop. Keeping my skills somewhat sharp.
