just be wherever I am
that would change everything

The Beauty of In Between
This has been a year
of many in-betweens.
I have found my myself between
jobs,
emotions,
life and death.
Yet there is so much beauty
in the rhythm of each breath.
Warning Sign Haiku #4
If someone decreases their eye contact or other connection with you, especially after they’ve been offended, proceed with caution.
A Birdbath Haiku
Even #BackyardBirding can sometimes inspire #Haiku:
Watching birds so wild
and free brings me joy and a
bit of jealousy
Warning Sign Haiku #1
Abuse doesn’t have to be physical.
In fact, emotional toxicity can invisibly penetrate someone’s soul in such a way that the damage may be worse than physical.
And friends, family, and other well-intended people helpers may add to the abuse because they can’t see it, so they question whether it is even happening causing the victim to feel even more confused and unsafe.
That is why I am starting a series of #Haiku (#17syllable poems) called #WarningSigns to help us #CheckOurselves and those we allow in our inner circle for signs of #toxicity.
My hope is to shine light on toxic behaviors so we can recognize it in others, step away when we need to, and eliminate these toxic behaviors in ourselves.
It’s time to step away from #toxicity and into #healing and #peace.
