A Seattleite born in Rhode Island | Pronouns: He/Him
the praying mantis
facing down murder hornets
an ominous name
sunlight pushing in
another day comes to life
my eyes resisting
WITHIN THIS COLD RAIN
DROPLETS DIVING OFF FLOWERS
THE CROW LAUGHS WITH ME
in the light: judgment
in the darkness: acceptance.
moonlight through the clouds
This bouquet of spring
A celebration of life
Sunlight through the trees
Can you believe that this is the last Monday in April? May first is Friday! I noticed that the cherry blossoms are already starting to be shed, the last trees now filled with blossoms. Spring now fully present, at least in Seattle.
I hope this finds you safe and well.
It’s a quiet, grey morning here in Seattle. Journaling to start day, then to my desk to get done work done. How’s your quarantined life going?
as the water falls
air speaks to my sense of home
the night hides mountains
I wasn’t able to get out today for a walk, and photo explorations. It rained a good chunk of the day, and I was pretty busy. So, I grabbed this photo from Pexels as it captured my mood.

delighting in the frogsong
Basho’s memory
Walking in my neighborhood, there are a few ponds. Tonight I noticed the frogsong…for the first time this spring. I doubt the frogs have been silent until tonight. Probably just the first night I was out late enough.
sunlight through this glass
floating across the pages
a crow laughing
cherry blossoms fade
azaleas celebrate spring
life continuing
Spring marches on. Summer will be here before we know it. Time’s relentlessness.
