A Friday Afternoon Sight

afternoon motion
underneath the hazy sky
magestic fungus

Saw this gem on my afternoon walk. I’m fond of toadstools.

A Night Haiku

I embrace the night

rain flows from forgotten roofs

safe inside my coat


Another experiment with Adobe Spark.

Keep Breathing

​Keep breathing deeply

Listen to the birds singing

Sunlight upon trees


Life’s tensions overwhelm at times. Remember to stop, focus on breathing deeply,controlled. Today, while doing this, the bird’s singing became vibrant. It’s what’s really important in life. 

A Friday Morning Haiku Near Seattle

these grey morning skies

echoing my memories

birdsong calming me

These grey, cloudy mornings are a part of my soul.  

Haiku, July 9, 2020

dawn hidden by clouds

songbirds boldly chattering

gentle summer’s breeze

A morning after a restless night. Coffee far too late, perhaps. My ears attuned to the night, hearing so very much, sleep came with difficulty to late to be useful. Once I woke, the morning calmness and quietude spoke to me. 

Ah, Cherry Blossoms!

sunlight’s downward path

as I wander past the fears

ah, cherry blossoms!

March 10, 2020: Cherry Blossoms

more sunlight each day
and the grace of warmer days
cherry blossoms bloom
