Happy Monday…er….Thursday to you! I’ve been out of my office until today. It’ll be a challenge to return. Looking forward to 2019.

A Day In The Mountains
Winter’s afternoon
Watching these clouds move through firs
Such grace filled motion
Out east of Bellingham, near the town of Deming, we journeyed to the Nooksack river to see eagles. Around twenty bald and golden eagles sat among the trees. Seagulls fought for the scraps.
Dawn’s light shining west
As it crests the eastern hills day
Feeling winter’s chill
I love dawn. I always feel deep potential. The possibilities feel endless.
A Night View
Looking to the west
Lights flicker in the darkness
City filled with stars
A Meditation About Seeking Greatness
So, why am I here?
Such a powerful question
This path to greatness
I want to grow, to become more, do important things, make a positive impact upon this place I love. That is what I mean by “greatness” . But that’s only a part. How I need to define my goal.
As Thich Naht Hahn said, “The path is the goal”. It’s a fluid, moving target, evolving as my soul grows. I find this beautiful.

A haiku at the end of a busy day
A busy day ends
I find it hard to focus
This winter evening
A haiku at the end of this busy day. Family after church, this period where birthdays intersect with major holidays.
Suburban Night
Suburban silence
Raindrops rattling my roof
The beauty of home
A Windy Night Calms
Now in night’s darkness
The air has become silent
Peacefulness reclaimed
It’s now calm as the wrong storm has passed through Seattle. Hope all you Seattle area folks got through relatively unscathed. Sure seems a bit of a mess right now.
Facing fear, putting it in its place
Fears can speak loudly
