Anxiety and Mindless Guilt

Our hearts torture us
Pronouncing us quite guilty
Anxiety’s cruel

Lovers of Violence

We love violence
Romance of the gunslinger
Murderous outlaws

This morning’s meditation

Circumstances speak 

As I lay within my bed

Seeing life’s beauty 

LISTENING To Music 

As youth I chose
To deeply explore music
Each word critical 

Music is critical to me. For my teenage years, I focused my study there. Well, as best as I could focus at that age. Music means so very much to me. Understanding the way lyrics, melody and harmony intersect for the good of the story carried great value. 

I seek to recapture that. Spent some time this morning enjoying it again. Until life’s demands intruded. Soon, I’ll return. These delights critical to my soul. 


A Memorial Day Haiku 

In Flanders fields
Amidst poppies and lark song
Lie our lost lessons

Focus On Gratitude

I’m grateful for these:

Joyous children around me

Love’s capacity
