I decided to embrace the ying / yang of our existence in this duo. It’s something I’m working on it life as well!
Life has been demanding my attention as of late, so I am very tardy with my thanks, but I was honored to once again have my work chosen by Pure Haiku. Please visit Pure Haiku to read my my submission from February 21 and the many other fantastic interpretations for the Encircling theme.

I was honored to once again have my work chosen by Pure Haiku. It truly brings me joy in a time when joy seems fleeting. Please visit Pure Haiku to read my my submission and the many other fantastic interpretations for the Encircling theme.

the promise
a funhouse mirror
real life
a moment of calm

ambiguity

I’ve been MIA for a bit, so thanks to Susi for luring me back with birds!
