A sunny autumn morn

Summer’s hints remain
Echoes of heat and sunshine
Sunny autumn morn

A Haiku From My Walk

Moving through mid-day
I step outside and reclaim
Focus and vision

Today’s Haiku: Flower’s Joy

These moments of joy
Nothing is more glorious
Sunlight on petals

It feels more like Seattle
The one of my memory

Rain rattling gutters
The parched earth healing

Seeking the truest power
Releasing all else


This is the deepest truth for students of Zen. Yet is hard to live this, at times, at least. Hence the need for constant practice and discipline. Mastering resisting our temptation to steal our future from ourselves. 

The Quiet Of Night

In the night’s quiet
Human activity done
Except this poem
