I'm daily in awe of Nature's growing pains. She certainly knows how to measure time. If only we humans could do it as beautifully as she.
Yvette is the host this week for Tanka Tuesday, and she invites us to reflect on the season and use one or both of these two words in our poem: absorb and repel. I've decided to write an Etheree (ten lines, 1 through 10 syllables), which you will see below.
Given some of the posts I've seen recently, I believe nature serves as a respite for most of us. While neighborhoods explode and cities draw battlelines and countries taunt war, nature offers us peace. I escape every day and focus on creatures big and small.
Some of you may recall that my husband and I discovered two wild Guinea pigs in a field near us. We check on them every day, and they are still quite happy. I wish they could write a book about their adventures. Wouldn't that be fun -- a mystery about escaping human owners and building a home under a bush. 😊
