Facing Forward, Pursuing Progress
Looking at how we’re evolving culturally, and how humanity engages with itself, for good and for ill.
Footsteps in gravel
A presence hidden by night
With sublime motion
​Coffee’s gracefulness
Awakening our brain cells
Enabling life
The elixir of life: coffee! Memories of Seattle cafes in the 90s, a broke young man seeking moments of grace. Warmth in the winter rain, another grace. Warm memories of friends and conversation, of connecting with history’s great minds. Coffee consumed, generations apart, cold winter’s rain ensuring the seat, by the window, wondrous.
​wakefulness
reading upon the couch
re-dreaming dreams
Finding it hard to remain awake this morning, awake, asleep, startling awake..the cycle spins, daylight climbs eastern mountains, dawn fades to memory.
walking near the shore
the scent of salt air delights
flowers worship sun
this daisy riot
petals reaching for the sky
buzzing content bees
I wrote this haiku a few months ago, but some glitch kept it from posting. Glad I found it, and now to share it with you.
Here is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day challenge: Grace.
I think a lot about grace. Its importance both to us, and to society. How grace enables humans to function together, and is the magic elixir that ends conflict. And that grace is undervalued, perhaps even reviled. We live in brutal times, my friends.
night is complete
dawn’s grace arrives
resisting waking
each moment grace
talking with friends of fears
as the rain falls
white space my best friend
crisp clarity is my goal
not one extra word
Such is my ascetic: minimalism, concise clarity. Inspired by modernist and Swiss Style, I prefer crisp fonts, lots of free, open white space.
morning glory
graceful vines
rainy summer morn
