Hello, blog friends...
I'm sure you'll agree that life's challenges can overwhelm us at times. Being the fixer that I am, and probably you are too, it's hard to stand at the sidelines, when others are suffering. We want to make things better for them. And when we can't, it's a weighty burden. For me, prayer and deep silence offer solace -- usually through nature.
When I read Robbie's Tanka Tuesday prompt for this week, I smiled. She asks that we write a syllabic imagist poem. This simple assignment took me away from pressing challenges to something beautiful - a butterfly. And after I wrote the poem, I realized the poem was about each of us.
I hope you enjoy it.
