Scents tickle the nose,
Songs fill the moist, gusty air:
Spring Blooms mightily!

I wrote this haiku in the spur of the moment; sometimes this is the most effective crucible for letting a poem bloom! (Or for letting ourselves bloom ... in the joy of spontaneity!)
I will be on Spring Retreat next week at the Trappist Abbey. Over the Easter Break happened to be the best time to be away. I am celebrating one year down in South King County. I have not posted for a few week due to several transformative personal and professional changes taking precedence. Now underway are plans for a 9 month training for skills in "Spiritual Companioning" to begin in May.
I will host and convene the 15th World Religions series (since 2000) downtown Seattle next to St. James Cathedral Tuesdays from April 13 - May 18.
May 11 & 18 will be open to the public. May 11th I will facilitate a panel of women and men Muslims about their prayer and daily life, including a Sufi "Whirling Dervish" who will demonstrate prayer while turning. May 18 will be a kind of Spiritual Travelogue, an audiovisual of how people pray in Asia. See the website for the flyer and updated info ...
