Nightly Haiku, August 11

Tonight’s Haiku

Air in motion
Night sings ancient songs
Trees sway in the dark

Experimenting with Adobe Spark. Really enjoying the app.

A Haiku In The Night

​The night’s grace appears

Kindness in the dark’s motion

Streetlights; a beacon


There’s a grace to the night, to the calmness brought, to hidden delights, joys unbounded. To rest delivered, and the salvation of our dreams. 

Morning Coffee, A #Haiku

​Coffee’s gracefulness 

Awakening our brain cells

Enabling life 


The elixir of life: coffee! Memories of Seattle cafes in the 90s, a broke young man seeking moments of grace. Warmth in the winter rain, another grace. Warm memories of friends and conversation, of connecting with history’s great minds. Coffee consumed, generations apart, cold winter’s rain ensuring the seat, by the window, wondrous.

Seattle Memories: A Saturday Morning

Dark morning skies

Coffee shops and newspapers

Tranquil memories
Echoes of my history in this morning’s air, remembering my times in Seattle as a young man.

within the darkness
memories of the daylight
as I seek to rest

This is my first experiment with Adobe Spark. I find Canva a bit more intuitive at first blush. I’ll see where that goes. As I have a Creative Suite subscription, Spark makes significant economic sense.

Morning Haiku, August 3, 2020

​wakefulness

reading upon the couch

re-dreaming dreams


Finding it hard to remain awake this morning, awake, asleep, startling awake..the cycle spins, daylight climbs eastern mountains, dawn fades to memory.

another day past

feeling the grace of sunlight

soon, petals will fall

  • I love the flowers i see on my walks. This one out from yesterday. Today I didn’t get out. My right foot ended up with some brutal blisters. Make sure your shoes fit right, and aren’t too worn. They’ll thank you for it. 

The Opportunity of Morning Sunlight

opportunity

I see so much opportunity, and how privilege feeds that. How I can pick and choose amongst these choices, while so many others struggle to get by. 

How can I leverage privilege and expand opportunity for all? 

Is this how I make the world better?
