gazing at the moon
I touch the lake; ripples form

Wisdom Learned: A Senryu
Early in the morning remembering the actions I regret. Unwilling to learn from my elders caused so much heartache. Eventually I learned this bit of wisdom:
- a wise person learns from their mistakes
- a wiser person means from the mistakes of others
- the wisest person learns from the successes of others
Also I figured out that I learn more by listening than talking.
So, I’m getting there. The journey is ongoing.
A Friday Morning Haiku
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?
A Rainy Night In Seattle
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.

Tonight’s Haiku: 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
