 |   A collection of thoughts and comments on various topics. |
| This is a place for me to capture thoughts, ideas, snippets of this and bits of that, that don't seem to lend themselves to one of the more traditional item types. |
| Something was wrong. He was certain of it, even though he was unable to determine exactly what it was. Co-workers still smiled at him or ignored him, just as they had always done. His desk's clutter was unchanged and his work assignments covered the usual topics. Everything was the same, and yet... He pushed the disquieting feeling aside, logged into the company's intranet and started his workday. In the back of his mind, though, lurked the unfounded--yet firm--suspicion, that the other shoe was hovering just out of sight...waiting. |
| I took a picture of one of those miniature Smart cars. Appropriately enough, the license plate read: DNTSQSH. |
| Awake before dawn, dozing on a quiet bus - an unplanned trip starts |
An alpine meadow sprawls under a summer sun - pure tranquility |
| Well, it was nice having clear and dry sidewalks for one day, anyhow. It's snowing again! |
Gray clouds on chill winds spill over snow-capped mountains - white world tomorrow |
| Dots of white falling from the skies growing in size before our very eyes prompting children to crow: "Let it snow! Let it snow!" |
| If haiku exemplifies minimalist, but ultra-expressive poetry, what would be its lifestyle analogue? Spartan comes to mind, but the Wiktionary defines it as "lacking in decoration and luxury", so the whole concept of expressiveness - of richness or fullness of meaning - seems absent. It's sort of a 'path of least existence', which, to me, doesn't embody the spirit of haiku. Perhaps we have to make up a word, something like hai-life. Someone living the hai-life would have few possessions or luxuries, but would not see it as a limitation or adverse condition. Their attitude would make it a positive situation, as noted in Philippians 4:11. Whatever your situation, I hope you're living the hai-life. |
| Well, the snow pushed over the Rockies and descended on Denver, just as the forecasters had predicted. What they didn't mention, though, was that the combination of half-frozen sleet, unseasoned drivers, and unaltered speeds would make it seem like Christmas in February. There were flashing red and blue lights everywhere, and the carols of en route emergency vehicles could be heard in the distance. |
