This morning’s haiku: this age of rage
in this time of rage
invective traded like cash
poetry’s my peace
Checked Twitter this morning. So much rage. I’m not sure there’s not anyone without veins bulging nor invective dripping from their lips, a poison so sweet, so deadly.
I’m glad I have this little garden on the internet, where I can delight in life and growth, not what’s been burned beyond recognition.

Wisdom Learned: A SenryuÂ
Early in the morning remembering the actions I regret. Unwilling to learn from my elders caused so much heartache. Eventually I learned this bit of wisdom:
- a wise person learns from their mistakes
- a wiser person means from the mistakes of others
- the wisest person learns from the successes of others
Also I figured out that I learn more by listening than talking.
So, I’m getting there. The journey is ongoing.
