With gentle kindness r
Seeking grace at every turn
Bettering my life
I try to focus on grace. Avoiding judgement and rage, I seek to jive my life focused on adding joy.

Next to the Shore
Listen to the surf
The wave’s eternal motion
Lulling me to sleep
An annoyance on the day: sunburn
Serious precautions
I am deeply frustrated
For I’m still sunburned
Journeys to the End
The road goes further
Without places for dining
And the food was good
Exploring Hawaii, We went to a place called <a href=”http://South Point Cliff Dive
Ka Lae Rd, Naalehu, HI 96772

https://goo.gl/maps/GSNU115xmYU2″>Southpointe. Ostensibly the southernmost pointe in the US. <a href=”http://Hana Hou Restaurant
95-1148 Naalehu Spur Rd, Naalehu, HI 96772

Nearby is a place called <a href=”http://Paradise Meadows Orchard & Bee Farm Home of Hawaii’s Local Buzz

A Kona Haiku
Now the evening’s here
Waves raucous in the darkness
Such power calms me
I’m Awaiting Dawn: Today’s Haiku
This morning’s haiku is connected to waking up too dang early. I’m awaiting my pending alarm.
Always seek to grow
Always seeking growth
And to manage all my fears
Become what I want
It’s frightening, at times, to always seek growth. It requires constant reminders to watch for fear, the temptation to be comfortable. As a writer and artist, I see how critical it is to push boundaries. Mine as well as others. Perhaps mine are the most important boundaries to smash through. Destroying that which holds me back, which robs me of joy.
I will resist fear
For I long to seek out joy
And find potential
I’ve let fear run my life far too long. Fear of failure, of rejection. This paralyzes, destroying opportunity. This I resist.
A Haiku For A Summer’s Evening
The day’s heat lingers
Sunlight blocked by the mountains
Summer’s kind mercies
It was a warm one today. Especially by Seattle standards. Got some walking in, a little shopping, farmers market time, chatting friends…all things that build connection and community.
The Streetlight
Looking through the dark
Bugs orbiting a street light
Buzzing electrons
