Darkness and the light
Elements of all our lives
Don’t give in to fear
Finding oneself aligned with the light, it’s easy to be afraid of the darkness within us.

Now we transition
We’re returning to normal
Within this new year
Ready to get back to work? To shake things up and make a difference? If not, what do you need to do to change that?Â

Winter advances
Yet the solstice passed us by
Change is approaching

Many memories
Walking past the empty halls
In winterâs darkness
Ages ago I lived in Seattleâs heart. At that point, beginning a transformation, becoming the economic behemoth of our now. Then we were still the refuge of the poor, downtrodden. Suburban business professionals drifting through, vanishing as the clock struck five. The flurry of buses and cars carrying them away, far away from us. I found myself wandering nighttime streets, streetlights and gentle rain accompanying my steps. An urban beauty.

This is my challenge
Stare inwards free of judgement
Embrace compassion

I’m awake early
On this dark Christmas morning
The night calmed by snow
I hope each of you has a blessed and refreshing Christmas.

Rivers of gold light
Flowing across this city
Blessings of darkness
