The Grace Of Fresh Snow

I look at the night

Upon freshly fallen snow

I’m struck by the grace

It’s a beautiful, snowy night here in Seattle. It feels wonderful, though I dread tomorrow’s commute.

This Charming Old House

I love this old house
The echoes of elegance
Rang into the night

This house had been part of my life for years. Recently, it’s owners have worked hard to recapture its glory. They’ve done a nice job, in my opinion.

Releasing Perfection

Perfection released

Forever seeking to grow

Gentle humbleness 

There’s a power in humility. Slowly I’m growing forward. 

A Monday Morning Haiku

Outside the window

The predawn darkness remains

Cursing the alarm

Guess I have a case of the Mondays. Feeling exhausted still. Don’t feel i got enough rest over the weekend. What about you? 

Tonight’s Haiku: On A Winter Walk

On a winter’s walk
As darkness approaches me
Loving the sky’s glow

A little haiku to end your week:

Upwards I see stars
Flickerings in the darkness
This cold winter’s night

A #haiku for this #cold, #winter’s, night

All Hail Speed!

All hail performance!

I recklessly pursue speed 

Losing quality

I always feel pressure to get things done faster. Speed is everything! Except it’s not. Without quality everything collapses. Pressure starts to build for both, yet they live on the opposite sides of town. Therein lies the challenge, methinks. 

Winter’s Cold Wind: A Haiku

Winter’s coldness speaks

I’m always moving forward

And the wind still blows
