The Lessons Of Pain

As I’m dealing with shoulder and lower back pain. I appreciate you folks: constant and kind. 

Remnants Of Summer: Tonight’s Haiku

Summer's Remnants: A Haiku
Though autumn is here, These elements of summer, Surviving the wind

I saw these flowers amidst the cold breezes of the past few days in Seattle. Flowers have a fierceness to them, don’t they?

Walking In Suburbia

Angled Daylight
The angled daylight, Dances amongst the trees, A gentle breeze blows
A haiku reflection on this evening’s walk. Very delightful journey through this suburb I call home.

A Seahawks Haiku

Fans with explosives
The Seahawks have a new win
Evening distortions

Tonight’s haiku is inspired by my neighbors who are loudly celebrating the Seahawks win.

A Birthday Haiku

Devouring Rage

We devour rage

And it seeps into our bones

One tweet at a time 

A meditation on modern culture. Am I off base? What do you think?

My Daily Haiku, September 28

My feet are moving
I delight in the darkness
A sense of calmness

Walking at Twilight

Walking at twilight
The sense of forward motion
My tranquility


I value my evening walks. They bring me focus and settle down my more manic moments. Often, I listen to podcasts. Today, though, I opted for music. Spotify is glorious if you love music like I do.

Tonight’s Haiku

Though the air has cooled

These flowers resist autumn

Sunlight’s grasp waning

I took this photo in Edmonds, a small town north of Seattle. I’ve lived most of my life in its orbit. My heart has a dear place for this place.

A Monday Morning Haiku

This Monday morning

My mind is feeling murky

Rain in the darkness

I hope your Monday it’s the start to a productive and satisfying week.
