Haiku my Heart #43 ~ Haiku Therapy

It's been an eventful few weeks

happy mingled with sad,

I'm learning to just be with it all.

Today is Haiku my Heart poetry day

hosted by Rebecca

over at

Recuerda mi Corazon

Haiku has become a weekly treat, a kind of

therapy for me on Friday.

The Therapy Begins

~>~>~>

I'm going to my picture file as I write

to see which image stands out and speaks to me,

after that I know the words

will just tumble out!

~>~>~>~>~>

Life is a journey,

the grass is not always green,

I'm checking my stride!

I've had this image for ages,

a window reflection caught in a poster,

it captured my attention whilst out shopping

I knew it had a hidden meaning!

I'm a great believer that we can thrive thru adversity, if we have the will.

You'll find mine here.

So much truth!! Well done and perfect art work too!! Yes it only seems greener on the other side!! Impulsiveness to jump to conclusions is not exercising prudence!!

That haiku has a lot of meaning. The first two lines are facts. The last is good advice on any level.

Peace

dear sue,

i love your approach to life and to writing haiku.
i love your trust and willingness to follow your instincts. to be inspired by a visual reference ...and allow the words to come to you is the same trust that allows you to find peace within as life unfolds.

i am always lifted in your presence.

Thank you for sharing your process with us, lovely Sue! I loved learning that.
I too am always so thankful for the Haiku Therapy each Friday. This connection of hearts as well as the creative process itself brings me into the present moment so well.
Light and love to you, my Haiku Friend !

There is always the up and the down isn't there. What synchronicity that you had captured this image and it appeared to you when you needed it.
