Filled with painful news
Death, destruction and much pain
Manifest sorrow

“Athletic” Means Something New Now
As I get older
Athletic has new meaning
It applies to me
A birthday meditation
Compline sung again
Mark another year of life
I am richly blessed
An Autumnal Evening
Red leaves in dusk’s light
Intense autumnal beauty
Descending to night
Focusing on Grace
I learned long ago
To accept inconvenience
With grace, not anger
It’s a harder path, but very rewarding in the end. My focus is to build people up, expand community, expand interconnection. Grace helps that vision. Accepting people where they are/who they are.
An Early Morning Haiku
Darkness settled well
All my neighbors are silent
Not many leaves fell
Fearing to Launch
A challenge of mine
As with so many others
Launch my idea
I, for one, find it hard to actually take my ideas, my dreams live. The action of making it real has risk, the chance of failure. Lately, though, I’ve read so very much about the value of failure. I need to work at controlling those fears, ensuring I’m effective and moving forward with accomplishing my dreams.
RIP Hugh Hefner
He made his millions
Pushing sexual boundaries
Challenged us deeply
Love him or hate him, his life made an impact.
A Haiku Response To The Daily Prompt: Coincidence
Destiny and fate
Does coincidence exist?
Morning autumn fog
My response to the “Daily Prompt”.
Today’s is Coincidence.
Feeding My Soul: A Haiku
Need to be thoughtful
About what I put into
My mind, my soul
I often put more thought into what I seed my body then what I feed my soul. Probably put more thought into my car’s gas, too. I know I need to change that. My soul’s nourishment becomes my attitude, my confidence, my actions.
