Reality and Possibility
Where is the boundary Between reality And possibility?
In Motion
Dreams of motion Cars and vans, across deserts Sunlight’s glaring strength The forces of life drive hard Each day waking I’m the same bed With different views Outside this glass Wheels sparkle in the day Transitions happen
Do not give into fear
Do not give in to fear Each step of acquiesce Feeds the beast Growing it Face it down! Demand it sit Then lay down Into the dirt Acknowledging Your power
Forward Motion
It’s always time For forward motion To step away from my past Into my future As the present fades Into dust
The Incident In My Tea Mug
A fly in my cup Bereft of life and motion Tea in a new cup

Beauty Within Destruction
In the smoke I see beauty within Destruction The Seattle area has been suffering with unhealthy accounts of smoke. First from California, then from British Columbia. At dawn and dusk the sun has been this bold orange/red. Stunningly beautiful, juxtaposed against the monumental destruction weight by those fires.
