poetry, prose, and photography
I sit in the darkness
Free from fear’s anguished grasping
Earth covered in snow
Seattle’s first significant snow event this winter has disrupted our lives solidly. I miss the days i could walk to work, even in the snow. The roads have been quite treacherous. So, I’ve avoided them. Today, though, I really need to make my way into the office. It’ll be fun ,I’m sure.
I look at the night
Upon freshly fallen snow
I’m struck by the grace
It’s a beautiful, snowy night here in Seattle. It feels wonderful, though I dread tomorrow’s commute.
I love this old house
The echoes of elegance
Rang into the night
This house had been part of my life for years. Recently, it’s owners have worked hard to recapture its glory. They’ve done a nice job, in my opinion.
Perfection released
Forever seeking to grow
Gentle humbleness
There’s a power in humility. Slowly I’m growing forward.
and now it is night
the darkness embraces me
cool tranquility
Experimenting with Autodesk’s #Sketc. Fun thing to far, but I need to go to sleep now.
Outside the window
The predawn darkness remains
Cursing the alarm
Guess I have a case of the Mondays. Feeling exhausted still. Don’t feel i got enough rest over the weekend. What about you?
On a winter’s walk
As darkness approaches me
Loving the sky’s glow
the sun rises
i resist waking
my warm bed

All hail performance!
I recklessly pursue speed
Losing quality
I always feel pressure to get things done faster. Speed is everything! Except it’s not. Without quality everything collapses. Pressure starts to build for both, yet they live on the opposite sides of town. Therein lies the challenge, methinks.
