“My dad is dying”
My son’s friend was telling me
“I don’t want to go”
“Not there when I needed him”

Listening to Fear
Fear has great wisdom
Face it boldly and head-on
Always stay mindful
This is a profound challenge for me. I do not like the sensation of fear. Yet I know it’s a required sensation for growth.
As we push ourselves outside our “comfort zone”, fear holds sway. Listen to it, see what it’s trying to say, look for truth. Is there something real to be afraid of, or is it the unknown, the simple possibility of failure? When you’ve done such, answers tend you be intuitively obvious.
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.
Spring’s Blossoms Appear
Today’s work commands
My focus and energy
Spring’s blossoms appear
There’s so much greed for my attention. It’s easy to get lost within it all, losing sight of the important things. I strive to step out of that mental swirl, too see the world around me. What about you?
Focus on Love
Choosing direction
May sometimes be a challenge
Please focus on love
Faith’s Srength: A Haiku
Faith’s strength comes from trust
Belief in benevolent
Energies driving
This Seattle Night, A Haiku
Rainfall’s insistence
Tapping upon my rooftop
This Seattle night
An early morning meditation
The doom of choosing
I’m afraid of being wrong
Predawn tree’s stillness
Waking Early To Rain
Rain marching downwards
Gravity’s relentless draw
Early morning thoughts
Hummingbirds, Life, Death
I watch a hummingbird
And wonder about time
Are we only allowed
A specific number
Of heartbeats?
