Sunlight on the clouds
Silence dominates the air
The firs are aglow
poetry, prose, and photography
I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
My goal: to post at least one haiku a day.

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; 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.

While I look skyward
Moments of clarity shine
This cold autumn sky


The grace of sunlight
Pushing through the autumn chill
Raising my spirits
These rare moments of sunlight piercing through Seattle’s autumnal gloom, granting me strength for those long, dark days coming.

Focusing forwards
Sunlight grabs my attention
And I see fall’s leaves
It’s so easy to get lost in my thoughts. A little flare of sunlight caught my gaze, broke the focus, and I was able to see autumn’s glory right next to me.
