I love the haiku
Gentleness in the small size
Grace in simpleness
Perhaps you’d figured this out about me by now.
Category: Haiku
I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
A Reflection on Alan Watts: A Haiku
Straightening out life
Violates its core nature
We must let it be
This haiku is my response to Alan Watts’ quote “you’re only making a mess by trying to put things straight. You’re trying to straighten out a wiggly world and no wonder you’re in trouble”. I find this very relevant in today’s climate.
A Garlic Question
A question of mine
How many cups of garlic
Becomes “too many”?
Ah, I adore garlic, and am not afraid. Fortunately, my wife shares my delight.
Each Day Step Forwards
Each day step forwards
Never, ever stop moving
That’s where success lays
Happy Friday, everyone! Go do something great! And, if you would be so kind, give this post a “like” and share. Thanks!
Fears Wisdom
We struggle with fear
But fear has its own wisdom
We must seek balance
A Wednesday Meditation
Now the week’s middle
So very much left to do
This steady constant
The Great Blue Heron
This gangly bird
Inelegant legs, bearing
Ghost upon the marsh
Yosemite
Majestic mountains
Magnificent light falling
Tranquility’s song
In The Face Of The Horrible
Face the horrible
The waves of sadness and pain
Find strength together
Seattle’s Rain Arrived
Raindrops tap windows
Gusts rattling the dried leaves
Autumnal cold rain
The predicted reasons have come. Trees bend in the breeze, leaves drift across my drive. Summer’s memory flutters within the dried, damp leaves.
