Haiku: Alone Together

alone together
moon and I regard each other
nothing interrupts—
we wait on each other’s move,
give in to each other’s light

Happy move-waiting
Happy light-sharing

“Patience is not simply the ability to wait – it’s how we behave while we’re waiting.”

Joyce Meyer

Waiting is a time of preparation and growth

I’m pissed The Dyson chose now to revoke our sacred oath

Copyright ©️ selma 2024 November

Don’t know what I did wrong but the vacuum cleaner is tired— just when I need it to help me prepare. What to do, what to do 😳❗️

Troubleshooting….

“Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul.
If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing;
And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.”Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet,  (page 53 in my copy).

    A very deep and philosophical look at your vacuum cleaner and hence life.

    So sorry to hear about your Dyson. I hope that you’ll be able to get it sorted out or get a new vacuum cleaner. It sucks when they give up exactly when you need them the most!

    Sorry about your Dyson. My husband refused to give up on ours. Took the whole thing apart and revived it with a new part, gave a bit more life 🙂 xo
