Yesterday was the Longest Night

Some random stats as I think about the apex of our night-life for my community just north of Seattle. Your mileage may vary.

  • Sunrise was at 7:55am
  • Sunset at 4:18 pm
  • Therefore we had 8.38 hours of sunlight
    • That’s 35% of the day with daylight
    • And, therefore 65% of the day was night
    • 15.62 hours of darkness!

Fortunately, slowly, slowly, the days will start lengthening. And another year begins.

#NaPoWriMo poem: April 8, 2020

amongst these tall trees

light now flowing from the east

songbirds still chatter

Start each day with a poem

sunlight from the east,
I seek to start every day,
crafting a poem
A morning haiku

sunlight from the east
I seek to start every day
crafting a poem

Good morning everyone! Wishing peace this first Friday of April.

My Writer’s Brain, Awake In The Dark

I want to sleep 

I want to write 

I want these two 

To align in 

Daylight 

Daytime Memories

Sunlight has climbed out
The forces of daytime surge
Hints of blessed nights
