Begin each day strong
Focus on what you do well
Facing down your fears

Haiku
Love Is All You Need
Love is all you need
Against rampant cruelty
Bigotry destroys
Cultural brutality destroys beauty. I found this video powerful, disturbing and thoughtful. I present to you: “Love Is All You Need”, exploring sexuality, bullying, and the social pressure to conform.
This late autumn night
This late autumn night
A light shines in the darkness
Moon and stars guiding
Find Your Greatness
Face adversity
Fill yourself with grace and strength
Find your own greatness
Negative Self-Talk
Awake in the night
Fear whispering in my ear
White noise of deceit
Audacity
It’s audacious
Hubristic, really
To think these words
A silly spackle of thought
Might, maybe, change things
Dampen a bit of rage
Create a little love
Maybe, just maybe,
My audacity might
Bear fruit
Hope echoes
Within
Dreams of the open road
Once I dreamt
Of the open road’s
Mysteries and delights
Envisioning freedom
And escape, adventures
The discovery of myself
Now I see
Cold nights
Buried in blankets
Fog inside on windows
Surf’s call outside and loud
Simplicity
Simplicity’s grace
Enjoying “less” in this life
Minimalism
This evening’s walk
A rather warm evening for the end of November. I walked off a few of the feast’s calories, peering at the stars through Seattle’s clouds.
A Thanksgiving Haiku For You
Grace in gratitude
The humbleness of our spirit
Thanksgiving’s healing
I hope each end every one of you felt blessed and loved today…and on all days.
