Upon The Horizon – Posted to Medium, And Other Life Update

Just posted this on Medium: Upon The Horizon. Quite pleased with this one. Came to me during my walk this evening.

It was good to be able to walk today. Last week, I wrenched my right arm and back at the gym. Rather intense pain drove me home from work early on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Saturday was spent planted firmly upon the couch. Sunday was punctuated by vertigo, leading me to a walk-in clinic, several appointments early in the week, a sinus infection diagnosis, and a battery of medications.

Now I’m feeling more pain-free, and dizziness-free. Satisfying progress, though incomplete. Shortly, I’ll be consuming my next blast of pain meds and drift off to sleep. Looking forward to the next day, this Friday approaching.

Obedience to the dream

Commit to your dreams
Seek to obey the dreamer
Passion carries you.

Expert saber sparring: Lee Smith vs Richard Marsden

I fenced while I lived in Astoria, eventually getting to work with saber. An amazing and wonderful weapon. Watching these two spar is a delight.

Mountain Dawn

Flowing over mountain tops
White peaks reddening, slowly.
Colors’ vibrancy lightens
Each passing second
Until all hues fade to
Blue sky and perfect
White snow

Ever expanding love

Love’s amazing gift
When shared, it grows larger still
Sharing, expansion

Other sites to find my writing

My foci have moved lately.

If you’re a fan of my poetry, this page is focused on that. I’m quite pleased with the results. Less than a year ago, I had no followers. Now, over 1,400. ‘Tis very validating.

My more general writing has been over here at NotJustSeattle. Over 2,200 subscribers since launch. Again, quite pleasing.

So, come over to these sites and say “hi”.

Force

Some things must be forced.
However, all things will break
Compassion must reign
