Another week gone by.
So fast.
I wonder, what did all of you do with your week?
Did you meet with friends? Did you spend time by yourself? Did you do something that you love doing?
Or did you just go through the motions and show up where you’re supposed to show up and do the things that are expected of you?
Me, I mostly did the latter. And while doing things like going to and from work, taking my kids to and from dance and soccer practice, I found myself occasionally surprised by the following moments.
(1)
one by one
the blossoms take their leave
on a gentle breeze
(2)
the waxing moon
halfway to full
she rubs her belly
(3)
even here
on the restroom floor
a cherry petal
(4)
deep inhale
before entering the office
the smell of spring rain
(5)
whether my mood
be foul or not
the warbler sings
(6)
cool and overcast
an egret flies overhead
in solitude
(7)
high in the trees
shaking the branches
children laugh and shriek
As always, thank you for reading.
