Career Meditation: Accepting what I don’t know 

Embracing my fear
Stepping into the unknown
So much I don’t know


I realized this morning how much I’ve struggled with my new job. I’m in a new industry and doing very different work.  And i’s been a long time since I’ve stretched myself like this. It’s been fearful, but good. I need to push myself forward. It’s far too easy to settle into easy, no risk, safe work. I need to push through that fear and keep growing, stay alive and vibrant. 


This Morning’s Haiku

Came out this morning
This new bloom to greet the day
Flamboyant display

Focus: A Moving Target 

Focus is fluid

Focusing My Life


Seeking a focus
Answering “what to do next”
Where my brain is now

Spending some time and energy right trying to figure out what I want to be focusing my energy on now.

Seeking “Home”?

Release expectations
Follow the sun in daylight
And stars at night
Listen for home’s sensation
When your heart is right 

Finding Home

Release expectation
Follow the sun in daylight
And stars at night
Listen for home’s sensation
When your heart is right


My childhood spent drifting, wandering the world. Eventually, home became this deep expectation, originally unwelcome. The beauty of the world intrigued me so. Now, living near my parents, and where grandparents spent their whole lives, there’s a rich connection. one whose beauty caught me off guard.

Of Stars And God

We are made in God’s image
Glorious bits of star stuff
Pieces of the cosmos

The big lives of small children 

Awakened by

p style=”font-family:"”>With big voices

Resisting Fear

Facing down my fears

Resisting despair’s summons

Living by my terms
