Embracing Enigma

My mind is weary
Yet embracing enigma
So much left to learn


I seek to accept my ignorance. Embracing that others hold knowledge I lack. In a place which highly values knowledge, preferring even the illusion, I find such an attitude unique.

The fireworks continue…

The Fourth was Tuesday
Plus it’s nearly ten at night
Enough fireworks 


Sigh…I’m quite ready to be done with fireworks.

A Sculpture In Redmond’s Library 

Winds dancing boldly 


Sunlight’s grace beckons to me

Voices of the West


Saw this sculpture in the lobby of the Redmond branch of the Ling County Library System.


Abandoning All We Are

Abandon all that we are
So we can become
All that we might be 


I see myself trapped by my past, by the barriers erected from fear, insecurity and doubt. “Grow past them…” I counsel myself. “Push past them. They are but vapor, illusion, less real than the dreams. Dreams create! So I shall focus on them. 


A Child’s Funeral

Nothing is sadder
Than a child’s funeral
Winter’s emptiness


It’s been several months since we buried my friend’s son. It was a wretched, painful day. I never want to feel that way again. Sadly, the odds are against me.
