An Autumn Haiku

this fading sunlight
breeze stirring the fallen leaves
memories drift past

Balmorhea’s Masollan

Balmorhea

I discovered Balmorhea a few years ago but only came across “Masollan” recently (earlier this year). I’ve become very fond of it. The instrumentation is exquisite. Electric guitar and bass with drums, violin, cello, and upright bass? I find it delightful. The ethereal way the melody floats above the harmony vibrates within my soul.

Thursday Morning Haiku

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Daily Haiku : Walking in Sunlight

Tonight’s Haiku

on my walk this night
the highlight of this evening
spying these mushrooms

Seth Godin: I Hate This Restaurant

I always appreciate Mr. Godin’s insights. Today’s blog post reminds me of something I’ve long thought about: understanding what you, and your business, offer the world. If you try to please all people, well, you aim for the middle and become a commodity. That only seems profitable by the large, mega-brands that can operate on huge scale. Most of us need to focus on the niche, on being unique. This requires creativity and insight. Those that master this space impress and inspire me.

A Mushroom Haiku

Mushroom Haiku
rising from the earth
filled with the fragrance of soil
hidden from sunlight

Found this mushroom on one of my walks last week. Edited the photo as well as created the design in Adobe Spark. Font: Lora.

Today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Sails

sails powering boats motion

Some Positive Energy For Your Saturday

In this age of rage and horror, I offer a few counterpoints of kindness and beauty.

 

That video makes me think of this character from Princess Mononoke.
