A Rainy Night Haiku

Wind blows in darkness
Rain forces it’s way downward
Flowing over leaves


It’s a #rainy night in #Seattle.

A Sunday Seattle Morning

Just out my window
Watching this December rain
I finish my tea

I woke early this morning fighting a migraine. The daggers in my skull have been dulled, but the mental fog and inability to focus remain. The grey, rainy skies seem to fit perfectly with my state of being.

In this night’s quiet
Siren’s call carries quite far
Winter’s night prayer

Sound carries far on the cold, late autumn night.

A Week’s Movement

A week; a moment 

Blur of daylight into night

Flows into winter

In this world that values busyness, it’s hard to focus. Mindfulness consumed by the God of more, of efficiencies. It’s easy to lose sight of what’s important and end up losing far too much time focused on the wrong things. When our actions don’t build towards something greater, we lose so very much. 

Moments of Clarity: This Evening’s Haiku

While I look skyward

Moments of clarity shine

This cold autumn sky

Beauty in the Night: Today’s Haiku

Nighttime had fallen
The beauty in the darkness
Lights shining brightly

I wish each of you a peaceful and restful night. My the bright spots shining in the night inspire you, and warm your hearts.
