Facing Forward, Pursuing Progress
I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.

It’s been a cold couple of days here on the PNW. Looks like it’s been quite cold (brutal?) throughout a lot of the US. I’ve had the additional annoyance of fighting a nasty and belligerent cold. The remaining symptom: coughing. I’ve had to reschedule one dentist appointment, and that looks like it’ll become two. Sigh…
I hope 2025 has been kinder to you.
winter moves forward
cold air underneath the clouds
this infectious gloom
within winter's depths
and sunlight's power reduced
life resists the gloom
this cold rain
amidst barren trees
a rose blooms
clouds vibrant motion
brushing against the full moon
storms pass at nightfall
walking near the shore
under the autumnal dusk
glorious colors
I wrote this one a few nights ago, after getting this shot of the Super Moon on my phone. It delighted me so.
autumn moon
gracing the cool sky
blessed silence
evening rainfall
flowing from a day of rain
into a calm night
Twas a rain filled day. Shifting between downpours, mists, and even a few moments of dryness with dark clouds
Crafted this image on Canva. I thought this font was fun. (It’s called Tan Pearl if you’re curious.)
I hope this finds you well.
It’s a rather drippy day here in greater Seattle, which I’m rather fond of. I find them tranquil and rejuvenating, especially with some coffee and a good book.
May your day feed your soul.
