I reject the paradigm of rage
Replacing that with kindness
Seeking all the world’s beauty
Then magnify it all

Looking at how we’re evolving culturally, and how humanity engages with itself, for good and for ill.
Cherry Blossoms at UW
These cherry blossoms
Thousands of people descend
Seattle’s springtime
Tonight’s Haiku: An Evening Walk
Walking near the shore
Sunlight gracefully setting
My mind is swirling
It’s been a rough couple of days. A few moments of peace were very welcome. Walking and writing poetry connect me to the greater grace of the universe. And I’m grateful.
I’m grateful for you, too, dear readers. The likes and comments make me feel like I add value to your lives with my shaped words. So, thank you for reading, liking and commenting! It lightens the heavier loads in my life.
Thoughts I do not want to think
My mind is racing
Thoughts I do not want to think
I’m deeply weary
Beauty
I think of beauty
There are so many choices
Tell me you love
Wednesday Morning Haiku
At the week’s middle
My alarm’s song is calling
I love the snooze bar
I love sewing puns
Though they often needle me
I’m left in stitches
Dastardly Viri
I’ve grown quite weary
Of these viri within me
Minute yet brutal
Modern Life: A Haiku
Competing demands
Everything highly urgent
Ah, tis modern life!
Oh,this fast paced modern existence! It’s overwhelming at times, isn’t it?
Releasing Perfection
Perfection released
Forever seeking to grow
Gentle humbleness
There’s a power in humility. Slowly I’m growing forward.
