the passage of time
sun and rain changing so much
yet beauty remains
I found this door on a recent trip to Port Townsend, WA. The marvelous character of this worn door spoke to me. All things age. Where do we find our grace?
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.
Memories of Bees
the wind’s graceful arc
flowers moving through the sun
memories of bees
A pre-dawn haiku
Pre-dawn
Tranquil silence ~
My pen and I
I love early mornings, before anyone else is awake.
Living: grace’s gift –
To feel sunlight on your face
And the evening rain
Autumn Approaches
Woke to wind chimes’ song
Gentle motion of the air
Harbinger of fall
I love the sound of my wind chimes. Today, the pre-dawn morning air cool. Autumn approaches! September just days away, which I delight in. Though I need to trade my shorts and sandals for pants and sweaters, I find that fair.
Tonight’s Haiku
the street light dimming
shapes fade into the darkness
until the next dawn
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Protest
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Protest
the call of protest
the deep need to find justice ~
a frog-song chorus

Today’s “Word of the Day Challenge”: Accidental.
sunlight from the east
this accidental beauty
such a lovely day
As I wrote this post, Bill Wither’s “Lovely Day” came up, finishing up my last line.
May your Monday be, well, lovely.
Bees on the flower, tonight’s Haiku
The grace of daylight
From the sky across the leaves
This dance of the bees
Walking in the evening light, a bee moves from petal to petal. Summer moves forward.
Summer’s Flowers
Sunlight between rains
And entertaining the bees
Watching the clouds pass
Walked in Port Townsend today. This was song the Larry Scott tail. I was experimenting with some of the camera’s presets and built in functions.
