Category: Daily Haiku

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.

A rainy Seattle #haiku

Rain falls gracefully
Flowers forgot the sunlight
This moment passes

Facing Westwards: Tonight’s #Haiku

I’m facing westwards
And mountains cover the sun
A sweet summer night

This one was fun to make. It makes me quite happy.

My life: currently in transition. The current job comes to end in five weeks. So I actively seek my next opportunity. It’s there. I feel it. I’m excited about what the future holds. Yet, I don’t know where it is. Uncertainty presents challenges, certainly. I write more about that here.

such a brilliant day
those I love accomplishing
sunlight reaches me

Today I watched dear friends test for their blackbelts, and followed that up with graduation parties. The beauty of growth delights me deeply.
