The Lessons Of Pain

As I’m dealing with shoulder and lower back pain. I appreciate you folks: constant and kind. 

Remnants Of Summer: Tonight’s Haiku

Summer's Remnants: A Haiku
Though autumn is here, These elements of summer, Surviving the wind

I saw these flowers amidst the cold breezes of the past few days in Seattle. Flowers have a fierceness to them, don’t they?

Walking In Suburbia

Angled Daylight
The angled daylight, Dances amongst the trees, A gentle breeze blows
A haiku reflection on this evening’s walk. Very delightful journey through this suburb I call home.

A Coffee Haiku For Your Sunday

A coffee haiku for your Sunday morning

The grace of mornings
Facilitate my heartbeat
Glorious, warm darkness

May your day be blessed indeed.

#Insecurities: A #Haiku

Meditating on things that hamper growth. Insecurities fill that for me. Especially as they’re often unfounded and irrational, to the point of annoyance. Well, that’s how I feel when I can step back and look set them rationally. 

Writing is one way I cope. Putting them down on paper helps me deeply. 

Also, this shows me the power of daily affirmations. Taking the time to deliberately challenge these destructive mental models…actually, proactively challenging them, is important. Stay ahead of the corrosion. 

A Seattle Autumn: A Haiku

As I look skyward

The memories fill my mind

Seattle’s autumns

This autumn night: tonight’s #haiku

Leaves in the darkness
As the trees prepare to sleep
Stars peeking through clouds

Today definitely felt like autumn. Wearing sweaters, finding my gloves and scarves, all signs the fall is here. For me, it’s a happy feeling. What about you?

My Daily Haiku, September 28

My feet are moving
I delight in the darkness
A sense of calmness

Walking at Twilight

Walking at twilight
The sense of forward motion
My tranquility


I value my evening walks. They bring me focus and settle down my more manic moments. Often, I listen to podcasts. Today, though, I opted for music. Spotify is glorious if you love music like I do.

Tonight’s #Haiku: Into Seattle This Evening

Ventured into town

Walking the streets I once knew

Many memories
