A Haiku From My Walk

Moving through mid-day
I step outside and reclaim
Focus and vision

A Zen Meditation

Claiming my own mind
Seeking the truest power
Releasing all else


This is the deepest truth for students of Zen. Yet is hard to live this, at times, at least. Hence the need for constant practice and discipline. Mastering resisting our temptation to steal our future from ourselves. 

Refining Vision 


So many distractions

First define what’s important

And then I focus 

Focus: A Moving Target 

Focus is fluid 

As life is ever-changing

Nothing is static

Focusing My Life


Seeking a focus
Answering “what to do next”
Where my brain is now

Spending some time and energy right trying to figure out what I want to be focusing my energy on now.
