poetry, prose, and photography
I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
My goal: to post at least one haiku a day.
Find hope at endings
As they’re a new beginning
Always move forwards
As I move through another period of transition, I focus on the possible. I gain energy from that, driving me forwards. Yes, there are frustrations, challenges, and road blocks, but remember the goal. Always focus on moving forwards.
Grace and peace to you my friends!

I’m extremely fond of teriyaki, and usually have some at least once a week. Everytime I start a new job or move, finding a new teriyaki shop is an immediate goal.
What’s you’re favorite food?
where the rain clouds were
I now see Orion’s Belt
a cold winter’s walk
The clear sky this evening, a welcome reprieve from the recent gloom. Made for a lovely, if rather cold, evening walk.
How was your evening?
so much I recall
sunlight streams in through windows
chatter of songbirds
Memories of joy, of sadness, all flow at random moments. When my mind floats free I rediscover history, these elements within, forgotten but not lost.
gazing skyward
dawn’s light through the clouds
new beginnings
the motion of night
street lights hidden by the fog
birds are now asleep
the soul of a tree
life with bark skin forgotten
ghostly echoing
darkness
street lights glimmer
memories whisper
I stand under stars
Heavenly motion births change
Memories of love
a new day begins
possibilities abound
the pre-dawn silence
