A morning journey
Off to the nearby island
With people I love
Spent the morning over in Whidbey Island watching a cross country regional competition. I’ve known many of these kids their whole lives, so there a certain poignancy.

Looking at how we’re evolving culturally, and how humanity engages with itself, for good and for ill.

Year’s Cold Edge
I feel fear’s cold edge
Darkness descending early
Wearing my wool clothes
Autumn’s presence now permeates the air. Leaves fall with vigor.
Winter’s Edge
Life is beautiful
Yet also cruelly brutal
I feel winter’s edge
The strange dichotomies of life. Finding beauty with the deep sadness upon friend’s wings. At times I feel an awkward wonder at what our heart’s hold at the same time.
The Light Is Born
Within the darkness
Are the parents of the light
Violent beauty
Proactively Dealing With Fear
Proactive or not
Fear demands our attention
This calm, Autumn night
Seeking Tranquility
As I still my mind
I’m seeking tranquility
In this autumn night
A wee spot of melancholy in today’s daily haiku

Mindfulness in Chaos
Facing down chaos
Though I spend time focusing
New demands arise
Dawn Approaches

p style=”font-family:"”>Soon the demands of work speak
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Enjoy the silence
