Time passes.

Life and Times, Lifetimes The millstone grinds on Wearing away the essence Of brightness to dust. Individual Soul of a child born to us Changed by time and need. A kernel of self What’s left to ignite later The ashes still burn. Each generation Frames time forward as they should Connecting now / then.

Yes the last stanza ties all together, although, my generation are seeing then, a few nows, and the generation taking the relay pin of the future.
Time, so short, and yet, going tick-tack for one eternity.

This poem was inspired by my childhood in Imperial Beach, CA and by my amazing mother.

Sea Moods

As an undergrad, I was often in over my head. It took a while before I got the drift of some of UCLA's finer professors. I know this is longer than my

My Notes from a Seminar

Our lives measured on the cosmic scale is a rather daunting concept.

Mere Moments

The world seems daunting today. Maybe I should devote time to smaller goals?

Hubris, a Haiku

This haiku came to me as we took a walk one day. I have an inkling I will expand it further, having more fun with Turtle's thoughts!
