An Evening Walk

Lynnwood at Night

on this evening walk
with my mind feeding my soul
in this cool night air

​Living: grace’s gift –

To feel sunlight on your face

And the evening rain

Haiku, August 30, 2020

​breathe in, fill my lungs

then exhaling, life’s motion

night freeing my soul

Just trying to focus my breathing, calling my mind and soul, seeking tranquility and rest. 

The Scent Of Rain

​As the sunlight fades
Comforting darkness flows in
With the scent of rain

It’s set to rain overnight and into tomorrow. Many of the Seattleites I know are ready for a bit of cool rain. I know, we’re a weird lot. When everything is green it feels the most like home. 


A rainy Seattle night

summer’s rain
beautiful scent of earth
renewed

Outside I hear a rumble, then the familiar tapping sound of rainfall. I love the scent of rain falling after a hot day.

A Night Haiku

Footsteps in gravel
A presence hidden by night
With sublime motion

Frogs Beside the Pond

Such gentle calmness

Graceful moments in the dark

Frogs sing beside this pond

Abrupt Awareness

Frog song
Bold moonlight
Sudden awareness

Thinking of those moments where one is working dillgently, fully absorbed, then abruptly aware of time’s passage. The last moment outside our mind sunlight dominated. Then, darkness, moonlight, and the frogs chanting their mantras.

Nightly Haiku, August 11

Tonight’s Haiku

Air in motion
Night sings ancient songs
Trees sway in the dark

Experimenting with Adobe Spark. Really enjoying the app.

A Haiku In The Night

​The night’s grace appears

Kindness in the dark’s motion

Streetlights; a beacon


There’s a grace to the night, to the calmness brought, to hidden delights, joys unbounded. To rest delivered, and the salvation of our dreams.
