A Tuesday Morning Haiku

<

p style=”font-family:"”>When you move too fast

<

p style=”font-family:"”>The obvious, at times, missed

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Which slows me down

An Unconventional Life

My life’s been lived

At a right-angle 

To reality



I’ve always valued originality over all else. 


Sirens in the Dead of Night

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Fire engines call

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Sirens piercing the darkness

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Summoned against fear

The power of dawn

As mornings are born
Light pours into the darkness
Potential returns

Mornings have great power, setting the tone for the day. 


A Tuesday HaikuĀ 

Eternal movement 

Hands sprinting on these dials

Relentless motion 

Roll The Clocks Back

I sometimes wonder 

If we should roll our clocks back

Into sundials

Your Best Work Isn’t “Nothing”

As you may have noticed, I think very highly of Seth Godin. This blog post gave words to an idea I’ve been considering:

Money for nothing

Seth says “…your best work isn’t nothing…”. I adore that! A reminder that our workĀ is valuable, that our lives have worth. Seeking shortcuts to accomplishment not only shortchanges the one seeking the easy path, it short changes us all. We need to see the value we add, embrace that, and, then, get to work!
I hope you have a marvelously productive Monday!
When searching for a “Featured Image” for this post, I came across this one. Reminds of my favorite things when working for Starbucks and Microsoft.Ā 

ā€œā€¦my mother died. I was with her. She is with meā€

My mother died when I was 15. The impact lingers to this day.

So this piece by Masaru Goto struck me deeply:

ā€œā€¦my mother died. I was with her. She is withĀ meā€

I love the intersection of poetry and photography. I want to explore that myself.

A powerfully moving project.
