Dreadful thoughts from a young mind 

“My dad is dying”

Focus on Love 

Choosing direction
May sometimes be a challenge
Please focus on love

Grandmother 

I’m nearby
This place she lived
LIVED!
So very long ago

In this early morn
With wind moving
Trees
Her voice whispers
Love songs to this
Child

Evaluating Life

Evaluating
Are actions aligned with goals?
Deliberate change

Doing some personal evaluation right now. Clarifying my goals: what I want to do, what I want my life to mean. Hard, but necessary, especially when I put everything on the table: nothing sacred, all challenged. Ensuring only what is truly enriching remains.

This kind of work is hard. Rewarding, but hard. Hard to look at decisions and paths thinking “is it time to let this go”? But that’s the only way to keep moving forward. 

A Sunday Night Meditation

Life moves at this blur
Days blend together quickly
Cherish these moments

It’s hard at times to keep all this mental motion together. I blink and my son’s taller, the other children around become adults. And I age. Gracefully, I’m sure. But with certainty.

Moments

At times
It is hard to remember
All the good in the world
Despair is a cruel teacher

Grapple with thankfulness
And accept the grace of love
That comes, truly, it comes
Often unexpectedly

These children grow tall

Look at these children
So tall, kind and wonderful
I’m filled with rich pride

These children grow tall

Look at these children
So tall, kind and wonderful
I’m filled with rich pride

Simplicity: The Beauty of Haiku

Life is so complex
The beauty within haiku
Ah! Simplicity!
