haiku from a 3-day retreat, Feb 2022

[judih]

day 1

wind awakens
self discovers a new day
each moment born

.

old Arab structure
they flee, others seek shelter
bronze plaque reminder

.

winnie the pooh
falling down the tree trunk
branch to branch kerplunk

.

day 2

opened heart
when was your first sight of love?
all that past led here

.

release that guilt
each mistake's experience
creating your soul

.

nothing to forgive
it all led to this
understanding

.
mid-morning walks
sunlight on my shoulders
smell of fresh fields

.
simple principles
when challenged, relax
accept the meeting
.
welcome back strangers
storks gather in wheat fields
wise to me, they fly

.
grey stark orchard
dormant pomegranate trees
scattered shriveled peels

.

Day 3


allow time
allow for all cells' digestion
listen with fresh ears

[saw]

good stuff.....

getting away to
see more, the collective creations
gather in the mind
