Make the world better
Seeking out what causes pain
Work on healing that

Gregorian Chant: A Haiku
Ancient words now sung
Prayers chanted, incense rising
Candlelit stone walls
So many memories within cathedral walls. Chanted prayer always makes my heart soar. Gently, though, like a bird on the wing. Not garish as a jet.
Thursday morning in Seattle
A cold, dark morning
Covers provide resistance
Though I must rise now
Grab happiness now
Sadness is lurking
Eventually it will spring
Grab happiness now
Sadness is always nearby. Don’t wait to grab happiness!
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.
The Cacophony of Vim
This riotous life
A Cacophony of vim
Joyousness of youth
I love all this interest in manual typewriters
I find this new love
With manual typewriters
Deeply endearing
Awoke to rains rage
Where I’d resist the outdoors
I’m safe on my couch
I’m a product of Seattle. So much time in the rain, it defines me. I remember a moment, so many years ago, sitting in my apartment, looking out over Seattle with coffee and a good book. With nowhere I needed to go, nor be, I sat in the window bay watching the rain splatter upon the glass, gravity writing it’s magic.
I Feed In The Darkness
I feed in darkness
Wander the night, consuming
Chocolate fears me
I love the haiku
I love the haiku
Gentleness in the small size
Grace in simpleness
Perhaps you’d figured this out about me by now.
