Gaze upon the town
Centuries of memories
Under the fresh snow
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 Day In The Mountains
Winter’s afternoon
Watching these clouds move through firs
Such grace filled motion
Out east of Bellingham, near the town of Deming, we journeyed to the Nooksack river to see eagles. Around twenty bald and golden eagles sat among the trees. Seagulls fought for the scraps.
A Meditation About Seeking Greatness
So, why am I here?
Such a powerful question
This path to greatness
I want to grow, to become more, do important things, make a positive impact upon this place I love. That is what I mean by “greatness” . But that’s only a part. How I need to define my goal.
As Thich Naht Hahn said, “The path is the goal”. It’s a fluid, moving target, evolving as my soul grows. I find this beautiful.
Suburban Night
Suburban silence
Raindrops rattling my roof
The beauty of home
A Night Of Song
Keys pressed in the night
Joyful sounds enchanting me
As a cold wind moves
Autumn’s End Nears
Still upon the tree
A feast for the passing birds
Nearing autumn’s end
I found the apples on these neglected trees to be haunting, ghost like. Sustaining the birds as the weather turns cruel.
A Walk Along The River
Along the river
My feet move through the sunlight
Serenity speaks
Digital Pilgrimage
Digital pilgrim
Across flowing electrons
Knowledge’s movement
A Rainy Night Haiku
Wind blows in darkness
Rain forces it’s way downward
Flowing over leaves
It’s a #rainy night in #Seattle.

A Christmas Tradition
A tradition renewed
Every year it is the same
And it’s different
