I’m up before dawn
Light coming through my window
I just need some tea
I hope your Sunday recharges your soul, giving you energy and drive as we face a new week.

So much Star Wars on
This event in Chicago
One of my life’s great joys
Star Wars has long been a key part of my life. The films are a central part of my personal mythology. I’ve written a few other poems about the films, and I expect I’ll write more.
With Star Wars Celebration going on in Chicago this weekend, I’ve been delighted to watch video footage of the happenings. I’ve long been inspired by the universe, and delighted as we keep moving forward. I felt a desire to communicate a bit of what it feels like to watch what’s happening to these characters I love. I hope I did it justice.

Glorious springtime
With these petals bursting forth
Before the rains come

Deep in outer space
Great power bending the light
As I gaze at rain
Ugliness rises
And I must choose rage or peace
I seek out beauty
There are days we dread
At least I can see them come
These dark clouds moving

Walking down this trail
Raindrops passing through the trees
Seattle’s springtime

The water’s stillness
With the sun moving westward
Spring’s daylight now ends
I live about 30 miles north of Seattle. I adore walking along the Edmonds waterfront. Many of my shots posted here are from this small city. My history here goes back a few generations. Simply walking here brings forth memories of cousins, grandparents.
