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. 

Today’s Black History Month Meditation: Saeed Jones

Mr. Jones launched into my view via Debbie Millman’s Design Matters podcast. His charm and ebullient manner shined brightly.

I find Saeed Jones’ work evocative and insightful. His meter and flow challenge me and my own work. I hope you find his work delightful too.

A Happy Birthday Haiku

A Happy Birthday Haiku
A Happy Birthday to Me Haiku!

As I expect most of you know, I have a thing for writing haiku. I actually have a whole blog dedicated to them. They’re fun and packed with meaning in such a small package.

Since today’s my birthday, it seemed like a fun subject.

Anyway, enjoy! And enjoy the day. Seattle’s looking to have quite a lovely one.
