Light searing into the sky

Our fears lie
The lie of our fears:
We’d rather face our regrets
Than fail at passion
It is important to learn the lies our psyche tells us. This holds us back from soi very much. Let’s stand against this together, shall we?
Morning Haiku, October 27, 2019
The morning quiet
I am awaiting the dawn
Brisk autumnal air
Here in Seattle autumn’s fully present. Leaves blow around. Rake’s efforts needed. The time for sweaters, jackets and scarves arrived. A happy time for me.
Beauty in Action: Tonight’s Haiku
Our lives are motion
There is beauty in action
The drumming rainfall
Wishing you a restful night.
#Insecurities: A #Haiku
Meditating on things that hamper growth. Insecurities fill that for me. Especially as they’re often unfounded and irrational, to the point of annoyance. Well, that’s how I feel when I can step back and look set them rationally.
Writing is one way I cope. Putting them down on paper helps me deeply.
Also, this shows me the power of daily affirmations. Taking the time to deliberately challenge these destructive mental models…actually, proactively challenging them, is important. Stay ahead of the corrosion.
A Birthday Haiku
The sun’s not yet up
On this, another birthday
I feel contentment
A Haiku From Tonight’s Walk
I adore this shot
The way light’s splaying outwards
Cutting through the dark
Tonight’s Haiku
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.
A Monday Morning Haiku
This Monday morning
My mind is feeling murky
Rain in the darkness
I hope your Monday it’s the start to a productive and satisfying week.
A Farmers Market #Haiku
Walking this late morn
Past the flowers and produce
Summers end draws near
