10/18/11 - 11/5/11

Note: On October 8, I actually reached the one year mark or 366th haiku of my project. Meeting that mark was a wonderful moment. What matters most to me is the continuity of memory that this nurtured and documents. While I don't get to post here every day, daily haikus are as much a part of my life as eating, sleeping, work and every bit as necessary.

Also unanticipated gifts of presence: Thank you to all of you who've supported me with comments, check-ins and more. The hard part is over. Now I get to play :) (!) I've been pretty careful if not downright timid about posting photos/thoughts etc. Nothing fancy anytime soon, but since I've not imploded yet, I'll likely explore other modes of expression via blogging...HOOOORAAAAAY!

10/18/11
momentarily
dust has settled, sky is clear
breathe deep and give thanks

10/19/11
hump day, at the crest
pray momentum takes the rest
let's enjoy the ride

10/20/11
walk along the ledge
while you're there, enjoy the view
clear perspective wins

10/21/11
as some things wind down
others can begin renewed
autopoiesis

10/22/11
unilateral
compassion I would welcome
always mine to give

10/23/11
Even as I age
Taking body to top speed
Dance 'til hearts content

‎10/24/11
Working like a dog
So forgive me when I bark
Nothing personal

10/25/11
Yoga kicked my butt
Thought I'd cry, throw up or fart
Bad-ass, stuck it out

10/26/11
Finally, autumn!
Neighbors gather, making plans
Lamp light warms twilight

10/27/11
well-rooted and strong
well-fed by this dark rich soil
present draws on past

10/28/11
facing my limits
standing at white waters edge
loon lends me her wings

10/29/11
world maintains its spin
why resist ancient wisdoms?
leaves turn red and gold

10/30/11
Goddess of the Winds
Oya, Yansa, Ancestors
inform every move

10/31/11
old growth feeds the new
food for thought to be absorbed
past, present, future

11/1/11
Harvesting my due
Existence is generous
Unexpected gain

11/2/11
pleasure's flip-side, pain
interwoven, these two mark
highs and lows today

11/3/11
'with a chance of rain'
gray skies whisper chills through cracks
winter heads our way

11/4/11
sun beams 'tween raindrops
oh! if I could just sleep in
truths realized in dreams

11/5/11
Study the body
owners manual for Life
things fall into place

  1. dear friend,
    i love your use of haiku as self-portrait, tiny vignettes of daily life, a living journal at once personal and profound in its chronology of living.

    bravo firefly!!!
