Phone ringing incessantly
This quest for power

Fear gains it’s power
Loving our neighbors?
From the seeds of our distrust
Fear gains its power
Cling to Hope
Fear is powerful
Yet only hope can transform
Cling strongly to that
It’s hard, at times, to fnd the light in the dark. Seek it out, nurture it. It is there, and will grow stronger.
The Politics of Rage and Negativity
Here’s my Tuesday morning haiku meditation:
Politics of rage
Why are we so negative?
This land of plenty
Where will I find home?Â
​Seeking the place where the mountains meet the sky
Where water rises to my feet and the sun warms
My bare feet resting wrapped in the sand
Despair LiesÂ
Despair’s a liar
There’s always a way forwards
Hints of dawn’s colors
I know how easy it is get lost in fear, my mind racing with destructive dreams. It’s corrosive to my joy.
A Productive Day
A productive day
Maintaining my focus helps
Fewer distractions
Germs are creeping up on me this eveningÂ
Sitting in darkness
Dreams crowding my awareness
My germs arguing
Yeah, I’m feeling germs creeping up. Coughing. Sigh.
Hopefully, a good night’s rest will reset me.
This morning’s haikuÂ
The darkness waning
Hints of blue sky beckoning
This day, beginning
Lovers of Violence
We love violence
Romance of the gunslinger
Murderous outlaws
