The sun’s not yet up
On this, another birthday
I feel contentment
poetry, prose, and photography

My feet are moving
I delight in the darkness
A sense of calmness

Walking at twilight
The sense of forward motion
My tranquility
I value my evening walks. They bring me focus and settle down my more manic moments. Often, I listen to podcasts. Today, though, I opted for music. Spotify is glorious if you love music like I do.

Though the air has cooled
These flowers resist autumn
Sunlight’s grasp waning
I took this photo in Edmonds, a small town north of Seattle. I’ve lived most of my life in its orbit. My heart has a dear place for this place.

Yet another day
Where I’m walking on these streets
This suburban life

With water flowing
From the sky across the earth
Summer’s end is near

So much symmetry
Balancing shape and colors
Such summer glories
