Sunday Safari

My birthday roses are opening.

I am admiring them
while I put away Christmas.

We have decided to study Fungi

water and

caves in 2011.

I have adopted the attitude of health.
Eating my water is delicious!

Pomegranates are a delightful nibble

and peeled grapefruit make a tasty snack.

It is very cold outside.
Once again I will bundle up for walking.

I have made a commitment to living
a sustainable, waste free, full use,
delicious life.

For me it is awareness
and a willingness to change old habits.

My daughter gave me two skeins of alpaca yarn
and a yarn bowl made by a local artist, for my birthday.

 It is enough for me to sit by the window and knit.
It is enough to watch the birds come and go.
I am content.

It is a new age for me.
Time to let go of the sadness
of the past.

I send blessings every day.
I do not forget but I am finding joy.

I am gladdened by the simple story

of a life well lived.

I also want to write a poem

on my hat.

I also want to take a long walk.

In 2004 my daughter sent me a 

tiny book she made.

She sent me a leather journal 

so I would have a place for my haiku.

In 2011,  I shall write a haiku

every evening with my new mechanical pencil

my husband gave me for my birthday.

This is my way of expressing wabi sabi.

I am celebrating each day.

Happy Sunday Safari.
