This morning’s haiku is connected to waking up too dang early. I’m awaiting my pending alarm.

I will resist fear 

For I long to seek out joy

And find potential

I’ve let fear run my life far too long. Fear of failure, of rejection. This paralyzes, destroying opportunity. This I resist. 

Yeah, I often make things too complex

I often get wound up over the details in life. Seeking out the details can go to far and I simply add complexity. 

When I hurt my arm, instead of looking for the best medicine cocktail, I need to do slap some ice in it. The sooner the better. 

Always Seek Out Hope

Always seek out hope 

Then our end will be better 

Beyond what we guess 

Moving through my life’s various trials in constantly struck by how often the results don’t match my predictions. At times, my conceptualization wasn’t even close. The best results achieve when I abandoned expectations and acted. Simply moved forward. Even if the end isn’t clear, the next step often is.

This summer morning
Seattle’s cool mistyness
Singing to my heart

Something about Seattle’s misty mornings speak to my soul.

Notes move over mists

These speak quietly to me

Passing through my heart

My affinity for Ms. Keating’s music continues to grow. Overlaying my delight in music and technology, she speaks to a deep part of my soul. 

Fear gains it’s power

Loving our neighbors?

From the seeds of our distrust

Fear gains its power
