An Evening Walk

I got in a few evening walks this week. My mind fills with thoughts and inspiration. They’re deeply valuable to me.

My body’s motion
As I move into twilight
Sky’s colors delight

I Delight In White Noise 

White noise’s beauty 

Hiding the fearful silence 

This mountain of sand 

Sometimes I find it hard to sleep in deep silence. Perhaps it’s the urbanite within me. I find comfort in sound. But would I find peace within the raucousness of the jungle? 

A Monday Morning Haiku 

I hope your week meets all your dreams and aspirations. May you find fulfillment, ppurpose and joy. 

Tonight’s Haiku: Buds Become Blossoms

A new testament
The hand of God drifting through
Buds become blossoms

Fathers, Daughters, and Snapshots of Beauty

A friend and daughter
The gentle kiss upon her head
Witnessing sweetness

Dancing Upon The Spring Breeze

Upon the spring breeze
Birds dancing gracefully skyward
The sunlit swallow

Standing against violence

Violence glorified?
I’m seeking the path forward
Away from despair

Listening to Fear

Fear has great wisdom
Face it boldly and head-on
Always stay mindful

This is a profound challenge for me. I do not like the sensation of fear. Yet I know it’s a required sensation for growth. 

As we push ourselves outside our “comfort zone”,  fear holds sway. Listen to it, see what it’s trying to say, look for truth. Is there something real to be afraid of, or is it the unknown, the simple possibility of failure? When you’ve done such, answers tend you be intuitively obvious. 

Sunlight Rising

A moth fluttering
Upon the grass stalks
The rising sunlight

Spring’s Blossoms Appear

Today’s work commands
My focus and energy
Spring’s blossoms appear

There’s so much greed for my attention. It’s easy to get lost within it all, losing sight of the important things. I strive to step out of that mental swirl, too see the world around me. What about you?
