It is an absolutely perfect Spring day!  It is making me think of a haiku on simplicity I recently read in the book, “Haiku Mind” by Patricia Donegan. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do – 🙂

this spring in my hut

there is nothing

there is everything

Leaving mourning here

Set aside in jars of grief

future is hard wrought

angry, biting tears

taken early, not ready

my baby and job

stolen from a wave

tumbled smooth by the ocean

pear flower snow fall

littering the yard, drifting

blizzard right outside

racing and drone like

wrenching, biting, devouring

wild strawberries
