Evening sun ignites
fall trees, warming the way home
with luminous light.

Dogged Observation – Day 75 of Exercise
The dogs watch me as
if to say, “Wouldn’t a walk
be better in every way?”.

The Clearing
Driving through the morning mist,
lost in a fog of my own making,
I startle as three young deer
leap before me.
I shudder at what might have been
and acknowledge what is now
with gratitude.

Sitting Meditation
From a source beyond myself
I was asked
“What have you become?”.
It caught me by surprise
and left me feeling sad and judged
until I came to see
it was a koan to sit with,
not something words could answer.

Day 73 – A Late Start
Though I started late,
I know if I don’t cede, I
can and will succeed.

Fortunately, There’s Tomorrow
A day when the dog
ate all the cat food, the bank
changed its hours for
maximum inconvenience,
and I failed to transcend.

Day 72- One Big Groan
Just one of those days
when it’s hard to remember
why I started this.
