This day’s distractions
So now I seek clarity;
Facets of my life
Days like this make me weary. Most of my plans failed to launch. Yet I got stuff done. So, there’s that.

Dreadful thoughts from a young mind
“My dad is dying”
My son’s friend was telling me
“I don’t want to go”
“Not there when I needed him”
Dreadful thoughts for a young mind
A Good Morning Haiku For You
Sunlight’s debuting
Early morning darkness fades
Sounds of spring arise
Watching the dawn inch forward inspired this haiku. I anthropomorphise the sun, imagining pride and delight as humanity stirs underneath the reborn warmth. Perhaps there’s even love for us as we reawaken our striving.
So, here’s to a new day, it’s blessed possibilities, and all the potential you bring.
Hummingbirds, Life, Death
I watch a hummingbird
And wonder about time
Are we only allowed
A specific number
Of heartbeats?
Finding My Place
My place
Is everywhere
And nowhere
Anywhere the sun
Shines or rain
Descends with
Grace and beauty
In tonight’s haiku, I try to deal with today’s news
Such wretched sadness
Pained hearts and tears aplenty
Cold rain falling now
Greatness
Every great thing
At the start
Was against the
Odds
Evaluating Life
Evaluating
Are actions aligned with goals?
Deliberate change
Doing some personal evaluation right now. Clarifying my goals: what I want to do, what I want my life to mean. Hard, but necessary, especially when I put everything on the table: nothing sacred, all challenged. Ensuring only what is truly enriching remains.
This kind of work is hard. Rewarding, but hard. Hard to look at decisions and paths thinking “is it time to let this go”? But that’s the only way to keep moving forward.
Time to wake
Night is now ending
Though the sun has yet to show
Silence is breaking
Though early, it’s time to wake. Life’s demands, well, are demanding. There always something to do, a challenge to meet, life to live.
Risk Avoidance
Taught risk avoidance
Always so vigorously
Hence why fear haunts me
