Your Notes

Edit your notes

I am 5 syllables, 7 syllables, and 5 syllables.

My Self-Summary

Buckminster Fuller
calls it "sunsight," not "sunrise."
Seeing things anew.

I need two haiku
for the minimum word count.
What else shall I say?

Me in a nutshell:
I'm a lousy guitarist
with a super ear.

What I’m doing with my life

Homeschooling my kids
and, more to the point, myself.
"Doing"? Or "being"?

My son drew a heart
and wrote a note inside it:
"I know you're trying."

Like a golden ring
at the bottom of a pond,
a yearning glimmers.

I’m really good at

Getting your jokes and
listening to my body.
But not paperwork.

The first things people usually notice about me

I'm willing to break
the operating pattern.
See?

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Jazz, Stevie Wonder.
I never read the fine print.
Dandelion greens.

The six things I could never do without

Why six? Why not five?
Or five, seven, five again?
Choices shape your life.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Everything matters
and nothing. The world is whole.
Here we are, right now.

On a typical Friday night I am

Cooking red lentils
or watching Star Wars with the boys.
Loving the big world.

I'm in Northampton
half the time; half New Haven.
I'll explain later.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I can tie a knot
in a maraschino stem
with my tongue. Voila!

You should message me if

You're smart and silly,
open-hearted, musical,
and, above all, kind.

(You don't have to craft
a haiku to answer back.
Just write and say hi.)

p.s. or if you're a great drummer. I mean for real.
