A miniature drawing of a mouse tacked to a bench somewhere between Cambridge and Somerville Massachusetts. The haiku: What a strange thing! to be alive beneath cherry blossoms. By Kobayashi Issa is written in ink. There are little pink dots on the drawing.

Trust is a steep climb
Its pathway demands effort
But wow, what a view

Chemistry starts it
Character keeps it going
Trust fuels the whole thing

Riders of NYC subways back in the 1960s and 1970s will remember these “words”:

Thoughtful impatience
Much much better than careless
Deliberation

#hiaku

Every moment
A crossroad past to future
Plan accordingly

#hiaku

I’m missing someone
Scary that they miss me too
But not *that* scary

#hiaku

Yes, Spring is coming
Wild and wet storms here today
Chaos will not win

I'm doing a most muscular pose in a black compression shirt.

I'm doing a double bicep pose in a black compression shirt.

I'm doing a side tricep flex pose in a black compression shirt.

A New Regiment.
More accurately Redo.
Just to change it up!

The door is open
The lock it’s long since broken
Enter with kindness

Winter bring them in.
All the weary souls come in.
Outside it's so cold.

The gyms been busy lately I hope your all staying warm, safe, and strong. Remember ice melts eventually.

Don’t know the future
Nobody does, wish I did
Need to let it go

Figuring it out
That’s me thinking really hard
Trusting my gut too

#hiaku

Lawyers resisted

Grecian Urns earn their

Keats’ beautiful truth. #hiaku

Bullies, cowards, hate -
brave heroes, peacemakers, just
lovers of dignity. #hiaku

Willow branches gyrated,
Ivy branches broke.

Cool, sweet, country air.

Forever to go
