Woods and the Rising Sun It's always a treat to be outside to meet the morning sun. The woods are at their best even for an audience of one. #getoutside. #PhotoPoetry. Continue Reading...
More Than A View
I think a lot of people would be better served if they could sit here for a week, or even two. The isolation, creation so perfect, in thought and silence, would be better than we usually do. Continue Reading...
Autumn Rays
Some awake, and dread pins them to the warmth, a sigh instead of words to say. Then, another looks at morning, embracing, God has granted me another day! Continue Reading...
2016 Election From A Small State Where It All Begins
It's after 1am. I am wide awake. I couldn't sleep if I wanted to. Not now anyways. This election for the President of the United States is not over, yet. Sitting here, I can still see Hillary Clinton pulling this out, and I can also see Donald J. Trump winning this election. Time will tell, and soon (hopefully). Unfortunately, I have spent too much time on social media recently, mostly reading Continue Reading...
Night Lights in NH
I am a family man living in southern New Hampshire, USA. I live where I live, and in the middle of the night, without venturing from home, I see what I see. I gaze at the night sky from just north of the 43rd parallel. But on night's like last night, the forecast was special. Rated a 6 out of 10, or a 'high'. And the map showed that I would be well above the viewing line of the north horizon. Continue Reading...
What Did You Do Today?
It was you I came to see, I chose this to do with my day In tears, I left, just how much do these troubles weigh Tone, I can handle some, but I tripped over the string, The slim grasp of matter from where the words you sling Love is hard sometimes, but it's always better than the dark Where the evil dwell, taking aim to hit their mark I can't put myself in your skin, in kindness I visit each Continue Reading...
God Bless the USA, Let’s Pray
I don’t need science to tell me that meditation repairs brain matter Just bow your head and talk to Him, void of all the societal chatter See, there are places all around you can find a spot filled in silence Here, at least for now, my walk and talk with Jesus, is my license Go to some quiet place, exhale, bow in reverence, and just pray List every little thing you are Continue Reading...
At Peace in the Forest
At Peace In The Forest I walked in the woods. It was cold. The chill on my face was cold enough for me to notice. I thought that maybe it was cold enough to freeze condensation into my mustache. The snow was hard. It was frozen, molded by the beings that had trodden there before me. My steps were my own, but nearly every one of Continue Reading...
Blessed Mornings
So, time and time again I stop and consider just how fortunate I am. I mean life is hectic. Something always gets in the way of something else. Demands on my time seem to have no end. Others come first, and there just seems to be so many 'others'. Days run right into weeks and the top of to-do lists turn upside down, and even start over again. Sometimes I think this pace approaches madness. Early Continue Reading...
Sunday Morning Peace
Last Sunday morning I found peace in a place I'd never been before. Sitting on the top deck at the rental house in Waves, NC, I prayed, I wrote, I listened, I drifted, I sang, I sat and tried to ponder the depths of blue in the sky above me. The sun was bright. It was at my back. I stared out over Pamlico Sound from my deck perch, and I wondered how the water that was my horizon as far as I could Continue Reading...
