Seeking grace at every turn
Bettering my life
I try to focus on grace. Avoiding judgement and rage, I seek to jive my life focused on adding joy.

A Kona Haiku
Now the evening’s here
Waves raucous in the darkness
Such power calms me
I’m Awaiting Dawn: Today’s Haiku
This morning’s haiku is connected to waking up too dang early. I’m awaiting my pending alarm.
I will resist fear
For I long to seek out joy
And find potential
I’ve let fear run my life far too long. Fear of failure, of rejection. This paralyzes, destroying opportunity. This I resist.
A Haiku For A Summer’s Evening
The day’s heat lingers
Sunlight blocked by the mountains
Summer’s kind mercies
It was a warm one today. Especially by Seattle standards. Got some walking in, a little shopping, farmers market time, chatting friends…all things that build connection and community.
Civility De-Valued: A Haiku
Social media
Civility de-valued
The evening’s calmness
Yeah, I often make things too complex
I often get wound up over the details in life. Seeking out the details can go to far and I simply add complexity.
When I hurt my arm, instead of looking for the best medicine cocktail, I need to do slap some ice in it. The sooner the better.
So much potential
Fear steps in and hamstrings us
Robs us of our dreams
The Streetlight
Looking through the dark
Bugs orbiting a street light
Buzzing electrons
