Went walking today
Along my favorite shoreline
As the sun moved low
One of my favorite things is to walk along the waterfront in Edmonds, WA. Tonight I include a few photos I took along the way.

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.
This Morning’s Rain: A Haiku
Early morning rain
Disrupting outdoor planning
Well, we’re flexible
Awoke to the steady patter of a Seattle rain. For me, there’s something very calming about it. I guess it’s part of Seattle being home. There must be moss in my soul.
This Night: A Haiku
As I now lay here
The night’s silence calming me
My brain is active
This grey morning light
This grey morning light
Falls deftly through morning sky
Clouds from the ocean
A wee spot of melancholy in today’s daily haiku

Mindfulness in Chaos
Facing down chaos
Though I spend time focusing
New demands arise
Today’s Haiku: Seeking Greatness
As I seek greatness
I look for something richer
Than mere dominance
What are we seeking?

Outside My Window
Outside my window
Through the darkness of this night
Honeysuckle blooms
A Rainy Day In Seattle: Today’s Haiku
Another grey day
Rainfall has moistened the ground
Watching memories
It’s feels very much like September this morning. The ground is damp from overnight rain. I great the crows debating their aviary issues of the day.
Having spent most of my life in our around Seattle, this is a common vision. One that connects me to so many memories, good and bad. Today I’m remembering living in downtown Seattle. That was home for nearly 10 years after I got out of the Navy. Basically, most of my twenties.
A fascinating time of my life. Trying to understand my place in the world. Discerning my dreams and goals. Mostly discerning myself, and my soul as unique and individual. Before that I either lived at home, in a dorm, on a ship, or in a barracks. I’d never truly lived alone.
