Hiking Lopez Island’s Iceberg Point

Within this forest
Passing all this Spanish moss
A cool summer’s day

Lopez Island: A Haiku

Awake this morning

And this view over the bay

Resetting my soul

The Sky Over Lopez Island

In this summer’s sky
With this glorious calmness
I ponder deeply

I’ve been enjoying crafting these designs Canva. It’s a solidly fun tool.

Remembering: a haiku about suicide’s fallout

His smile in my mind
A friend’s son just took his life
These clouds are broken

My heart is heavy today. We can be so cruel sometimes, especially with ourselves. If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts please know you are not alone and that there are people who will help.

An afternoon walk

The afternoon sun

Warm as we move to evening

My feet keep moving

It’s Monday morning: what will you do?

Another week begins

Now, what are you going to do

To make yourself grow?

Rage and Invective: A Haiku

In this boiling sea
Filled with rage and invective
How can we find peace?

Summer Fruit: A Haiku

Bathing in sunlight

These packages of summer

Biting into joy

The Joy’s of wandering the Farmer’s Markets.

Today’s #Haiku: #Fear


We all have our fears 

Character demands that we 

Never let them win 

A Summer’s Day Haiku

A moment rain-free

I move across the sidewalk

While summer calls me
