Sunlight’s going strong
Though the day is closing out
Still time to go bikev

A Seattle Morning
High clouds greet the morn
Birds call, seemingly calmer
More subdued, perhaps
Sound absorbed by clouds
Gray skies soothe me, though
Relieved of garish sunlight
Reflecting on change
Reflecting on change
How economics push us
Some times, push us down
Overheard: Email
“I don’t do email.”
How does one function this way?
Resisting progress?
An Oregon Memory
Today I’m remembering
Dreamy winters night’s
Near the coast of Oregon
A steady rain falling
Drinking coffee with friends
Jazz plays from a small radio
Voices of friends faded
Some returned to dust
This time so many ago
Many rains have washed away
The memory dusty not gone
Libraries
Betwix books & sunbeams
Motes of dust glide like stars
Drifting amongst dreams
And the dreamers who dream
A cup; empty and full
Overflowing with sunlight
A cup: empty and full
Two sides of the same
Moment
The Smoker
Walking past a smoker
So very easy to judge
Addiction’s impacts
Yet who am I
To critique anyone’s
Frailties?
Black History Month Meditation 1: Langston Hughes
Reading Langston Hughes
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>And about his vocational drifting
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>I have a thing for the wanderer
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>My own career meanders
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Weaving back and forth
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Across green fertile fields
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Vibrancy within each step
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>I’m spending Black History Month exploring black ports and their great works. Langston Hughes came to mind first. I’m also thinking of Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison. Do you have ideas? I’d love to hear about up-and-coming poets.

A Morning Meditation: Jealousy
Today’s Haiku:
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Focus lost with ease
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Jealousy’s dangerous voice
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Broken clarity
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>It is an easy trap, losing myself into comparisons. The resulting lack of focus damages my journey. Seek, then, clarity and my eyes pointed towards love.
