Raindrops on petals

Raindrops on petals

morning calmness 
the rain gently falling
life's graceful moments

Summer heat has been running strong this week. Today was a respite. 20 degrees cooler than yesterday with a gentle rain. A nice bit of relief.

I took this photo just outside of my office this morning. It seemed perfect. I enjoyed the moment, at least.

I hope your day went well. I know life’s pretty miserable for this of you on the East Coast. May the smoke clear quickly for you all.

Descending Sunlight


the grace of the sun 
as it descends through the leaves
greeted by flowers

A morning meditation on fear

A morning poem

	my fears whisper 
just below the birdsong
through gritted teeth

A poetic meditation from this morning. I’m up earlier than I’d planned, with a racing mind. Seeking to make world practical and free of risks. A boring life that would be methinks.
