I feed in darkness
Wander the night, consuming
Chocolate fears me

Looking at how we’re evolving culturally, and how humanity engages with itself, for good and for ill.
A Reflection on Alan Watts: A Haiku
Straightening out life
Violates its core nature
We must let it be
This haiku is my response to Alan Watts’ quote “you’re only making a mess by trying to put things straight. You’re trying to straighten out a wiggly world and no wonder you’re in trouble”. I find this very relevant in today’s climate.
A Garlic Question
A question of mine
How many cups of garlic
Becomes “too many”?
Ah, I adore garlic, and am not afraid. Fortunately, my wife shares my delight.
Each Day Step Forwards
Each day step forwards
Never, ever stop moving
That’s where success lays
Happy Friday, everyone! Go do something great! And, if you would be so kind, give this post a “like” and share. Thanks!
“Paul’s Boots” or Life’s Short
Life is much too short
Don’t forget to feed your soul
Therein lies beauty
This Haiku was inspired by this short movie: “Paul’s Boots”. Give it a watch. Maybe two. Reminds of how much I love the hiking community.
Fears Wisdom
We struggle with fear
But fear has its own wisdom
We must seek balance
The Great Blue Heron
This gangly bird
Inelegant legs, bearing
Ghost upon the marsh
In The Face Of The Horrible
Face the horrible
The waves of sadness and pain
Find strength together
A Morning Meditation
Forcing wakefulness
I resist vigorously
Weariness grinds
I pull my dust together
And rise
Wednesday, traveling at high speed: A Haiku
Wednesday had gone past
So very much has been done
Longing for the trees
