Heeding the signs I receive in my day to day activities. That's how this post came to be, and so I scheduled it for you. Now we're both in the know *wink*
Book reviews show we care for the written word. It's also the best way to show support for authors we wish others to know about. Here's one such author of a Book of Poetry.
A prompt that took me out of my comfort zone-- put me through the wringer at first. But as I gave in to the discomfort, words started coming. I wrote them down, and voila! My first NaPoWriMo Poem. Please continue reading.
My mask has protected me, saved me. I count it as a true blessing. Do you have any sobering thoughts about masks? Be well everyone. Let's all reap the best of the season that unfolds sprightly.
My form of choice today is Haibun. I hope you enjoy it. I declare World Peace-- scroll to the bottom to read why. I wish you miracles.

What a wonderful world this life is, though brief and transcendental-- Grand. Let's all zoom out, listen and look at ourselves from above — with open senses to the healing rhythm of the life that's exploding around us.

A famous 1899 painting by Edgar Degas of Russian Dancers. The criteria we used to choose this painting relies heavily on current events: Putin’s war in Ukraine-- he is at war, not the Russian people. They are not to blame for what’s happening. End the war, now. I declare peace!
Dear friends, the answers to those though questions are anchored safely within each of us. Inhale & exhale, then action. Let's reclaim what we've temporarily forgotten: We live in a world of abundance.
