poetry, prose, and photography
A week; a moment
Blur of daylight into night
Flows into winter
In this world that values busyness, it’s hard to focus. Mindfulness consumed by the God of more, of efficiencies. It’s easy to lose sight of what’s important and end up losing far too much time focused on the wrong things. When our actions don’t build towards something greater, we lose so very much.
My dreams keep moving
In an arc around the sky
Autumn’s now winter
While I look skyward
Moments of clarity shine
This cold autumn sky
Nighttime had fallen
The beauty in the darkness
Lights shining brightly
I wish each of you a peaceful and restful night. My the bright spots shining in the night inspire you, and warm your hearts.
I will resist fear
And all that’s holding me back
Embrace my future
Each day is a gift
The path that leads to greatness
Starts within this truth
Go and do great things my friends.
How you start each day
A few seconds of focus
Will empower you
The grace of sunlight
Pushing through the autumn chill
Raising my spirits
These rare moments of sunlight piercing through Seattle’s autumnal gloom, granting me strength for those long, dark days coming.
Focusing forwards
Sunlight grabs my attention
And I see fall’s leaves
It’s so easy to get lost in my thoughts. A little flare of sunlight caught my gaze, broke the focus, and I was able to see autumn’s glory right next to me.
