Sunlight through the rain

breaking through the rain
sunlight’s grace moves through the trees
birds dance on the wind

Cherry Blossoms

ah, cherry blossoms!
all the beauty of springtime
encapsulated

I try to walk every day. During those walks, I seek out signs of the seasons, of change, of life’s patterns. Lately, I’ve searched for signs of spring. Crocuses, daffodils, lilies, and now cherry blossoms.

Along the Water

Along the water: a haiku

along the water
under the sun, between trains
beside calm waters


I just finished up winter quarter, so I was able to spend the day as I wished. Today’s the projected last day of sun for a while, so I opted for a waterside walk today. Edmonds is one of my favorite places, so off I went.

Signs of Spring

stand under the sun

and the regalness of trees

caressing the sky


Signs of spring grow. Blossoms forming on trees, daffodils upright, crocuses tall. Soon the cherry trees will regale us with their yearly show. One all to brief, thus we must take the time to watch.

A Good Morning Haiku

songbirds chattering

a feature of my morning

crocuses waking

I hope your Tuesday brings you closer to your goals.
