Seeking out what causes pain
Work on healing that

Looking at how we’re evolving culturally, and how humanity engages with itself, for good and for ill.
Freedom: Speech vs Lunch
Both lunches and speech
They are striving to be free
Each in its own way
I’ve thought about the intersection of these two conceptions of freedom for some time. Working on capturing the subtle distinctions between the two ideas.
I Feed In The Darkness
I feed in darkness
Wander the night, consuming
Chocolate fears me
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
