as time seems to lurch between speed and stagnation flowers move forward

Doorways

the passage of time
sun and rain changing so much
yet beauty remains

I found this door on a recent trip to Port Townsend, WA. The marvelous character of this worn door spoke to me. All things age. Where do we find our grace?

A pre-dawn haiku

Pre-dawn

Tranquil silence ~

My pen and I

I love early mornings, before anyone else is awake.

Living: grace’s gift –

To feel sunlight on your face

And the evening rain

Autumn Approaches

Woke to wind chimes’ song

Gentle motion of the air

Harbinger of fall

I love the sound of my wind chimes. Today, the pre-dawn morning air cool. Autumn approaches! September just days away, which I delight in. Though I need to trade my shorts and sandals for pants and sweaters, I find that fair.
