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!

Strong and grounded
In spite of being
Immersed into the freezing water
A frozen lake on my way Calm and stillness Life is pulsing underneath I'm restarting my Noticing series, the last time I posted one was in April 4, 2020, Noticing # 75. In this series I stop for a moment, I take a photo and write few worlds about my feeling at that moment. It's something that really gives me pleasure. It's time to reclaim my space in noticing! Hope you enjoy the ride!

Adorned with bright red The Earth has been whimsical Provoking the moon Trying to impress the groom The sun is vainglorious
Today’s theme for Tanka Tuesday is poet’s choice. Inspired for all the beauty around here I wrote a tanka to register it. A little act of kindness for me and for the Earth. Hope you enjoy!
October Squares – Kind
Caressing the hands Books and dreams feeding the mind Metamorphosis Dousing throughout the black ink Pure magic on the making
This week Tanka Tuesday is specific form, all about Tanka!
Colleen’s words about Tanka poetry:
“TANKA IN ENGLISH: 5/7/5/7/7 or the s/l/s/l/l/ syllable structure. Your Tanka will comprise 5 lines written in the first-person point of view from the perspective of the poet.
When writing a Tanka, we consider the third line your “pivot,” but feel free to let it happen anywhere, or to exclude it. It is not mandatory. If you use a pivot, the meaning should apply to the first two lines, and the last two lines of your Tanka. Remember, we can read great tanka poems both forward and backward. ”
Owls wisely hooting Grounding and discovering Wolves magically howling Full moon lights the field Each step is an encounter
I wrote this tanka last night listening to the owls hooting at the distance. It was a warm autumn night, I kept the windows open giving permission to the crisp air and the sounds of the night enter my home and clear my thoughts.
The moon will guide you through the night with her brightness, but she will always dwell in the darkness, in order to be seen.

Sharing with Tanka Tuesday, this week theme prompt – The night sky.
Sharing with Nurturing Thursday.
Being carried away by longing Blending among the canopy Wondering and wandering Sensing forgotten paths Into the forest Braids and branches Turning one Single Gleam
Today’s prompt for Tanka Tuesday is a photo prompt. The photo should be able to inspire you to write a poem. That single mushroom in this photo evoked me a feeling of loneness. I’m sharing it using Nonet as the poetry form.
