Another Seattle Area Tech Worker | Pronouns: He/Him
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.
Just out my window
Watching this December rain
I finish my tea
I woke early this morning fighting a migraine. The daggers in my skull have been dulled, but the mental fog and inability to focus remain. The grey, rainy skies seem to fit perfectly with my state of being.
Sunlight on the clouds
Silence dominates the air
The firs are aglow
A week; a moment
Blur of daylight into night
Flows into winter
In this world that values busyness, it’s hard to focus. Mindfulness consumed by the God of more, of efficiencies. It’s easy to lose sight of what’s important and end up losing far too much time focused on the wrong things. When our actions don’t build towards something greater, we lose so very much.
Seek a grace filled life
So important: attitude
Embrace gratitude
Riders of surf
Captured imagination
Motion’s perfection
Walking in the sun
Before winter’s rage arrives
A tranquil respite
I must fill my soul
With positive energy
So I exude grace
What you feed your soul becomes the core of your being. Be thoughtful.
My mind is both my most powerful asset and my biggest liability. I’m both propelled forward and held back. Thus I constantly question my mind, my assumptions, my drive. I seek out opportunities to grow.
Leaves upon the ground
Echos of summer fading
Memories remain
Evening moves to night
Cold and silence dominate
Autumn’s grip secure
