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.

Dawn’s light shining west 

As it crests the eastern hills day

Feeling winter’s chill 


I love dawn. I always feel deep potential. The possibilities feel endless. 

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 haiku at the end of a busy day

A busy day ends
I find it hard to focus
This winter evening

A haiku at the end of this busy day. Family after church, this period where birthdays intersect with major holidays.

Suburban Night 

Suburban silence 

Raindrops rattling my roof 

The beauty of home 

A Windy Night Calms

Now in night’s darkness

The air has become silent

Peacefulness reclaimed

It’s now calm as the wrong storm has passed through Seattle. Hope all you Seattle area folks got through relatively unscathed. Sure seems a bit of a mess right now. 

Facing fear, putting it in its place 

Fears can speak loudly

A Night Of Song

Keys pressed in the night

Joyful sounds enchanting me

As a cold wind moves
