the Earth is turning mindfulness is the answer finding the purpose
my favorite corner in the backyard. it’s unbelievable that the summer solstice is almost here. i’m trying to be mindful and to set a few priorities before the summer starts. i want to enjoy the summer doing meaningful things for me, and not to let the daily business spoils it.
happy new month to you!
Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.
Emily Dickinson
Joining Marsha’s Writer’s Quotes Wednesdays Writer’s Challenge. The theme this week is HOPE.
Well, this word always brings me back to one of my favorite poems of Emily Dickinson. Hope is the thing with feathers …
Here is my version of Hope! I hope you enjoy 😉
Expectation
Desire
Believing in the magic
The impossible turning into possible
The only tool to keep us going
When nothing else makes sense
A wish
A silent prayer
The soul talking to the mind
Tanka Tuesday this week is a theme prompt about journey/travels:
“When one considers this wide-ranging theme, there are many possible subjects to keep in mind. A journey can consist of just about anything. One could be moving physically traveling from place to place, or be transforming in some significant way. The journey might be somewhere specific that can actually be listed on a map, or somewhere less tangible, such as the afterlife.” READ MORE ON POEMANALYSIS.COM
This theme brings me many memories, so many journeys I’ve taken, both physically and in my mind, journeys of adventure and journeys of growth, journeys of despair and journeys of joy. But I decided to go light and to be joyful, just simple. I’m writing the berries’ journey from a tiny seed planted on the ground, harvested, being on display at the market, coming home with me, and turning out a delicious and healthy breakfast. Form: Haiga
Once a tiny seed Showing off at the market Yummy for breakfast
Hope you enjoy it!

This week Tanka Tuesday is a Ekphrastic #PhotoPrompt! Thanks Trent for the beautiful image!
It’s a photo of a waterfall, my first thought when looked at it was of a hand reaching up, trying to escape through the gap. So here is my Tanka for this photo.
Hand of illusion The clearing has been opened The fall brings desire Fragments of sorrowful truth Exploding in ecstasy
a breath seeking closure a shift at the moment hidden beneath leaves and branches being
This week Tanka Tuesday is synonyms only! The words are life and move, I’ve chosen being and shift for a Cinquain poem: 2, 4, 6, 8, 2 syllables.
the words come and go where can I find the anchor? unbounded moments the softness of a petal thoughts and pen falling apart
Breathe in. Breathe out. 100 posts on Noticing! I did it! I stopped, noticed and registered moments A photo, a few words, and that moment has been frozen in time Not sure if I'll keep up with it I'll join some challenges again Open up space, pause to grow Thank you that followed my moments of noticing!
Spaciousness
Craving the wilderness
Open spaces
The freedom of air
The lightness of being
Moments of truth
Knowing but not accepting
Looking but not seeing
Hearing but not listening
Many signs guiding me
In spite of that
I take the wrong turn
Noticing the weakness of being.

Dreaming of spring Underneath each petal A breath of hope
I found this beauty at the grocery store last weekend, I could resist and brought her home. A week has passed and she is still a beauty.
Have a great Sunday!
