The Pursuit of Excellence: a #Haiku

This rainy darkness

The sun has not yet risen

Pursue excellence


There’s so much to accomplish early in the day. Before others are awake and the manic vigor rages forth. I love this time of day, when potential feels unlimited. When I’m bounded solely by my ambition.

What’s your favorite time of day?

A Monday Early Morning Haiku 

A street shines just outside my window. The quiet of this suburb, both home and alien. 

Thoughts I do not want to think

My mind is racing

Thoughts I do not want to think

I’m deeply weary

A Thursday Morning Meditation

Each day has beauty 

If you’ll give energy to 

Go and seek it out 

Seattle’s Alaskan Way Viaduct: A Haiku

Concrete broken to dust

Dastardly Viri 

I’ve grown quite weary 

Of these viri within me

Minute yet brutal

Day Passes To Night

Day passes to night
The demands of the day pass
Finally some rest

A Haiku

The Moon’s Ghost

Looking towards the sky
The moon’s ghost emerging high
In this night I sigh

Walking along the shore

Walking in the night
Enjoying this graceful scene
Of the moon’s ascent

One of my favorite places is the waterfront in Edmonds, about 30 miles north of Seattle. I adore walking along the shore. Even tonight in the cold, though there were moments of striking clarity.

A Blessed Day Haiku

This day was quite good
Filled with blessings of friendship
Within winter’s chill

I hope you’ve found goodness in your life today.
