Dignity and grace?
As I view this cool, grey morn
I hear echo’s rage

A Quick Haiku: A Moment In Paris
Gazing upon this
Such a cultural symbol
Moments of beauty
Love this photo by Mathieu Rivrin. Check out more of his work here.
This Modern Age
We can’t agree
On the color of the sky
Or whether up
Is really there
Or if the sky
Is blue always
Or just sometimes
Respect and Dignity: A Haiku
We are unable
To summon basic respect
For views not our own
As long as we, as a culture, or as a species, struggle to summon basic respect and dignity for each other, we will fail.
Why do villains laugh?
Something I’ve wondred.
Why do villains always laugh?
A puzzling thing
A Reflection on Alan Watts: A Haiku
Straightening out life
Violates its core nature
We must let it be
This haiku is my response to Alan Watts’ quote “you’re only making a mess by trying to put things straight. You’re trying to straighten out a wiggly world and no wonder you’re in trouble”. I find this very relevant in today’s climate.
Billy Joel
I don’t understand
What life in New York is like
Cultures intersect
Responding to our vacuous culture
Seeking richness
And depth
While our culture
Celebrates and delights
In the vacuous,
The superficial,
The inane
Gently, gently,
With greatest care
I dream we can bring
A love for grace,
Dignity, compassion

Enough?
Each minute pops up
Opportunities to spend
Always needing more
