An Asimov Quote For Your Friday

“Education is not something you can finish” ~Isaac Asimov

Dr. Asimov’s work had a profound impact on me. I fully embrace everything that this quote entrails. Continued learning is key to a vibrant life.

The Past, The Future, Focus

stories of the past

yet I look to the future

I am far from done

Met a really cool guy today. A former Navy nuclear power program sailor, just like me. Though he is quite a bit younger. 

Swapped stories of our respective experiences, which I enjoyed. Yet I often worry in those moments that I’ll become like the subject of Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days”, a relic, trapped in the past. Grave fate, for me, at least. 

A Sunday morning haiku

As dawn climbs the sky

How do i better myself?

Birds sing their answer

It’s a challenge for me to focus on the future, to create a vision. It’s much easier to live in this moment. But it leaves gaps in my psyche I try to fill. This is perpetual for me. 

Exploring Downtown Seattle

My home was once there
The outward shape is still there
And yet, it’s transformed

Walking these old streets
Visions of dirty concrete
Echoes of our past

Grime and poverty
Once marked these streets with their truth
Now airbrushed away

Walking with dear friends
Explorations of this past
Amongst my future

May 24, 2918

​May 24, 2918

What will that day like?

Beyond my imagining

So far forward 

Where my name 

Will have faded 

Into the realm of dreams 

This notion brought about 

By my misplaced fingers 

A Haiku Where I Contemplate A Cyberpunk Future

Slow integration
As we become a hive mind
Will we lose ourselves?

Happy Wednesday everyone!
