Facing Forward, Pursuing Progress
I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
crocuses arise
finding their way upwards
after the show melts
the rain grows warmer
slowly the plants awaken
the season's motion
I saw this little blossom on my walk today. Right before the rains started. It’s was cold, then damp. But I was equipped, so it was pleasant. Not a bad way to surrender a Sunday afternoon.
this gentle rainfall
droplets sparkle in the light
while spring approaches
I created this haiku with TikTok’s built in tools. Then I posted it to Instagram amongst other places. These are lots of fun to create.
Anyway, I hope you had a good “extended Monday” (yesterday was the President’s Day holiday in the US).
as sunlight passes
gently through the morning clouds
moving towards the spring
Another exploration into Adobe Express. I find it an interesting competitor with Canva. Pretty straightforward to use, and integrates well with the Adobe system.
I realize I’ve missed a few days. So much for my goal of posting daily.
Ok, let’s try to get back on-track.
I hope each of you has a lovely Sunday and are set up for a productive week.
the winter's sunlight upon the western mountains the song of the waves
as the sunlight fades with the night's graceful blessings the birds go silent
as the night descends
sunlight drifts through the mountains
and dawn's grip loosens
afternoon sunlight
gently drifting through the trees
winter progresses
winter moves forward
gently, gently towards the spring
already hints abound
Went for a walk this afternoon and saw this bud on a tree. Seems a bit premature, but trees are not logic based creatures.
