The First Day Of Autumn
holding back the dawn
grey skies resisting sunlight
grace of rain soaked leaves
It’s a classic Seattle autumn morning. One that I delight in. I hope your autumn is off to a good start.
Keep Breathing
​Keep breathing deeply
Listen to the birds singing
Sunlight upon trees
Life’s tensions overwhelm at times. Remember to stop, focus on breathing deeply,controlled. Today, while doing this, the bird’s singing became vibrant. It’s what’s really important in life.

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.
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.
