Yes, God has blessed you in a special way.
The Creator is revealed through the things of life.

Bridge across the sky
Shrouded foggy mystery
Dear companion

Hazy blue winter
Cold air and wind in my face
Invigorate life
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 02/03/12

An owl was calling
On a star filled winter night
Not my name, a call
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 02/03/12

A call echoed crisp
To live in light and darkness
As if the last day
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 02/03/12

Luminous silence
Dampens the cacophony of
Ordinary days
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 02/15/12

Without a winter
The stars cannot shift across
Another night sky
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 02/17/12

The flowers push through
Never a frozen hard ground
Led at such ease
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 02/17/12

Pink and gray and blue
Over the rim of the earth
The transition hour

Orange cusp of sun
Obscured among scattered clouds
Brings the light of dawn
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 02/18/12

No body is no body
Thus we are all only spirit
As body does not limit
And mind achieves a balance
Of no concern
Because there is no body
Only eternal ever growing
Spirit in a soul
Each soul moving toward
External bliss
By simple coexistence
With the almighty
Ever lasting
creation

I was always an optimist
seeing the hopeful side of things.
As a young child I was the optimistic helper and pleaser.
Then I became the lucky optimist – fortunately sliding through the teen years.
The naïve optimist worked for years
thinking I understood change
and could change people and systems.
Moving through time the realistic optimist realized
there were limits to one person’s ability to move the Whole forward.
The optimistic fatalist emerged
to graciously accept what the fates bestowed.
What kind of optimist will I be next?
The optimist of the light?

Gotta make it in
Under the invisible
wire of time today
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 02/24/12

I can only say
All I can think of is you.
Our love overwhelms

You are always so
Awesome, brave and beautiful
Oh my beloved one

It is bittersweet
Grandeur to reside in the
Temple of our love

Happy to be here
In a manner of speaking
Just being with you

Happy to be here
In a manner of speaking
Just being with you

Upon taking a hike

Quiet forest grove
Important sole audience
The love of my life.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/02/12

Green ferns and brown leaves
Wet still with morning fog drops
Quiet so quiet
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/02/12

Power from above
The abyssal mercy of God
In you (me) here and now
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/11/12

Wine flows out soothing
Like teardrops that need to flow
Some days are like that
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/11/12

She had to observe
I see you’ve stolen my pen
The haiku master
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/11/12

Revelations of
Vaguely remembered things
Flit across the mind
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/12/12

Quiet but busy
Time examining others
While writing my own
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/12/12

Plaque from an award
Dripping with irony but
Drops dry out with time
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/12/12

Question of the Day: How can you tell if a cloud is upside down?
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/12/12

I hope the sun warms
Your day and your loving heart
It shines on us both
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/13/12

Oh, evening star
Western symbol of beauty
Simple joy of life
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/16/12

Respond to thunder
A deep roar in the distance
Lions on the move

A deep roar in the night
Lives respond to thunder
Nature calls to them
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/18/12

Shadow man sitting
Reflecting of life’s quiet
Straight anomalies
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/20/12

Sit in the quiet
Until cats interrupt you
Meditation space?
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/24/12

Curse progenerates
Blessings upon these others
Energy redeemed
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/26/12

The changing of day
Every day looking upon
The world from on high
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/26/12

All our days living
Are not spent, rather borrowed,
Time only used once
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/26/12

Be as a brush held
In the hand of the Creator
to create art in the world.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/27/12

Kindness of a child
An offering of goodness
A simple package
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/27/12

He’s writing today
Then he’s riding somewhere too
Then writing again
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/27/12

Basket of dreams laid
Sandy forlorn abandoned
Like the weaver’s heart
