The descending sun
Vibrant colors bursting forth
With life resetting
Went for a walk this evening. Met my Fitbit step goal, got some lovely photos, and did some thinking. A great way to spend an hour.

Don’t Let Fears Win
Within modern life
Fears can twist out of control
Yet our souls greater
Fears and insecurities cause much mischief if left unchecked.
And there’s always a,way forward.
Sunday NightÂ
So ends the weekend
Sunlight behind the mountains
Dawn is coming soon
Time for a Friday Haiku
A Friday haiku
What is the root of its joy?
Delightful freedom
Happy Friday, everyone!
A Hokey Haiku
Put your right foot in
And then put your right foot out
What it’s all about
Feeling a bit silly tonight. Hope your week’s going well.
It’s National Haiku Day
They bring me such joy
A haiku’s simplicity
This delicate rose
Tonight’s haiku is about learning from your mistakes
Learn from your mistakes
Stand up, smarter and wiser
Springtime approaches
The powerful thing one can do when facing mistakes is to taste a moment and absorb the learning. Let that mine in to your core, change you, make you wiser. That’s the kernel of humility.
Feed your soul joyÂ
Just pursue your dreams
Seek out joy to feed your soul
Fight hard for your heart
May your week be filled with blessings.
Aspirations of PositivityÂ
I think I’ll give up
Cynicism this next Lent
Or maybe sooner
A haiku about seasons, change and a tad bit about love
This flower’s beauty
Transformative and quite brief
New life comes through change
This world burns with negative energy. Fear, distrust and rage so very of this world. I seek yo mollify that. I wonder if, perhaps, through poems and a bit of compassion, maybe I can help humanity grow its connection to itself. I see that as out species’ path to survival.
May each of you always find beauty and joy in life.
