A Day In The Mountains

Winter’s afternoon
Watching these clouds move through firs
Such grace filled motion

Out east of Bellingham, near the town of Deming, we journeyed to the Nooksack river to see eagles. Around twenty bald and golden eagles sat among the trees. Seagulls fought for the scraps.

A Meditation About Seeking Greatness

So, why am I here?

Such a powerful question

This path to greatness


I want to grow, to become more, do important things, make a positive impact upon this place I love. That is what I mean by “greatness” . But that’s only a part. How I need to define my goal. 

As Thich Naht Hahn said, “The path is the goal”. It’s a fluid, moving target, evolving as my soul grows. I find this beautiful. 



A Rainy Night Haiku

Wind blows in darkness
Rain forces it’s way downward
Flowing over leaves


It’s a #rainy night in #Seattle.

This Seattle Morn

Sunlight on the clouds

Silence dominates the air

The firs are aglow

In this night’s quiet
Siren’s call carries quite far
Winter’s night prayer

Sound carries far on the cold, late autumn night.

Moments of Clarity: This Evening’s Haiku

While I look skyward

Moments of clarity shine

This cold autumn sky

Beauty in the Night: Today’s Haiku

Nighttime had fallen
The beauty in the darkness
Lights shining brightly

I wish each of you a peaceful and restful night. My the bright spots shining in the night inspire you, and warm your hearts.

A Post Thanksgiving Haiku

Thanksgiving is past 

Yet my gratitude runs strong 

So much awesomeness 

A Wish

This child limping 

Long for Jesus’s power 

To heal with a touch
