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?
A Desert Meditation
Mists through these canyons
Flute playing ghosts echoing
As life continues
Waking Early To Rain
Rain marching downwards
Gravity’s relentless draw
Early morning thoughts
Defining “Vermin”
Why do we loathe such
These creatures that adapt well
To our wastefulness
Squirrels, rats, myriad insects, and so many other creatures that have adapted well to living in the shadow of humanity. These we loathe, finding beauty in those struggling to find a place in the world we’re rapidly changing.
Between Light and Dark
Between light and dark
Where love and anguish loiter
With snow upon leaves
Tonight’s Haiku: Sitting Upon My Couch
Fear Has Plenty Of Company
There are many fears
They will never be lonely
I can leave them be
It’s so hard, sometimes, to disentangle from my fears. They are so deeply interwoven into my life. Yet I’ve rooted out many over the years.
May you be freed from fear’s inertia. From its attempts to rob you of joy and wonder.
And may your Sunday recharge and invigorate you.
