Release expectations
Follow the sun in daylight
And stars at night
Listen for home’s sensation
When your heart is right

Seduced by the Snooze Bar
Snooze bar seduction

Rather, contentment
Not All Weight Loss Is Welcome
“Lost weight? Looking good!”
“Cancer will do that to you”.

Insecurities: A Haiku
I am pulled from sleep
Insecurities fight me
Destroy happiness
Sunlight and the Stars
The sunburned stars Destroyed by the daylight Longing for night’s reprieve
Finding Home
Release expectation
Follow the sun in daylight
And stars at night
Listen for home’s sensation
When your heart is right
My childhood spent drifting, wandering the world. Eventually, home became this deep expectation, originally unwelcome. The beauty of the world intrigued me so.

Of Stars And God
We are made in God’s image
Glorious bits of star stuff
Pieces of the cosmos
The Edmonds Farmers Market
This little market
Speaking to me of summer
Gentle memories
The big lives of small children
Awakened by
Voices of early risers
Small children
With big voices
So much
Personality
They occupy
Far more space
Than their bodies
Would belie

An evening with friends
Spent the evening with friends enjoying Mountlake Terrace’s Tour de Terrace parade. A lovely evening with friends I’ve know for a while and some I just met tonight. What a wonderful way to spend time.
