Greatness comes from work 

Passion needs to be nurtured 

Always seek to grow

Tonight’s Haiku: Rain Gently Falls 

This good day now ends 

Accomplishing many things

Rain’s gently falling 

Tonight’s Haiku: The Value We Bring 

Upon work’s altar

A worthy exchange?

I’ve been thinking about work and our relationship to it. 

Monday Morning Alarm Clocks 

This Monday morning
My alarm speaks its crass words
My reflex: resist

Ah, the glories of Monday morning’s and those alarm clocks. 

The Subconscious: A Meditation

This lake, rippleless
Voices from within our depths
Currents flowing deep

Where wind and wave collide

With wind blowing strong
These bold and daring people
Weren’t cowed by this storm

I wrote this haiku watching these two ignore cold and rain, dancing where wind and wave collide.

Today’s Daily Prompt: Frigid

Night fell long ago
Yet sleep is avoiding me
I hear the highway

Oh well, at least I can sleep in tomorrow.

To live where my grandparents lived

I live amongst ghosts
My grandparent’s memories
Amidst these very trees

I walk the same streets my grandparents did. It fills me with connection to this place. Time become more fluid.

The faithful skeptic
Balancing my need to KNOW
With my need to trust
