Alice, in wonderland ...

Dreaming of blossom

and flowers

and springtime

Netting blows

in warm fragrant breeze,

father whistling,

my world at ease ...

Mama's soft fingers

gently thumbing through curls,

peepers close tight,

dreaming unfurls

Beautiful Alice

April's Perpetual Petal
(would have been 90 years today)

Love,

Navigating Home

Well here I am again! Wonder of wonders that I am even showing up at all in this little blog wilderness having uprooted my faithful old friend Finding my Bliss by way of messing up the template! The one who safely sailed me through Bloglandia for all of those years was interfered with in an abrupt manner (see previous post). I know it may sound silly but I feel like I am grieving for what was my sanctuary and residence, I am feeling kind of lost with nothing familiar to cling to, but alas I do have one place that is very much like home and so there I will share a little haiku with my friends...

It's going at a snail's pace and I'
