Sunlight’s Grace: A #Haiku

Looking towards the sky

And summer’s not quite here yet

This graceful sunlight

Saturday, June 1: Gratitude

Under this sunshine

Pondering fragility

And life’s strange graces


Such a strange week. Monday afternoon my son crashed his skateboard, ending up with a significant concussion and “mild” bleeding on the brain. Monday night & Tuesday were spent talking about many possible (and frightening) scenarios. Wednesday we’re talking about leaving and Thursday we made it home. Friday we joined some friends for dinner. Surreal, in the end.

Now, we only just started this journey. 45 minutes at dinner with friends exhausted him. He spent most this morning’s energy at our eye doctor’s simply getting glasses adjusted.

We’re home. His mind is mostly intact, and healing quickly. Doctors believe we’ll have 100% recovery. Looking at the possibilities, I feel deep gratitude. We escaped some brutal stuff. I’m grateful for that.

A Friday Night #Haiku

My son is sleeping

As night has taken over

This long week ending

Explorations of Flowers: A #Haiku

Plant’s boisterousness

Speaking boldly in the spring

The bees are well fed

Haiku, May 4th, 2019

Sunlight on my skin

Fading into memory

Darkness approaches

Understanding Pandora and her box 

At certain moments

A sunny spring evening haiku

As the daylight falls

And its moving through the trees

Springtime marches on

A #Thursday morning #haiku

A night of poor sleep

Dawn without mercy moving 

Relentless motion

Easter Day. Mid-Afternoon

Today’s garden walk
With children’s delightful fun
The blessings of spring
