HuMp DaY Haiku – Healing in Nature
“Screaming in my head… I cannot let the sound escape. It would scare the natives.”
I wrote this a few months ago in my journal. When things were so crazy it kept tumbling around in my mind.
Isn’t it interesting that if you don’t take care of things, they keep coming back? After all the “stuff” with my son the past several months, added to a few stressful relationships with selfish people, I’m feeling close to that again.
Even with the pouring rain, we’re heading out for a overnight dose of nature in an attempt to settle my mind and work on priorities.

P.S. I forgot to include the linky before I left to go away to nature. It’s here now. 🙂
I have found that creating a haiku (non rhyming poem with 5 – 7 – 5 syllables per line) feeds my soul. I especially like creating them to go with my photos and art.
Painting with the lens
This lovely poppy grows at the edge of the garden steps. It was “thinking” about blooming the afternoon before, just bits of orange beginning to show through the tight green bud. We woke to this gorgeous bloom. What a cheerful view on a gray morning.
Playing with photo editing just because. Sure wish I knew what I was doing. 🙂
This is a easy-peasy edit, which has given me an idea for an abstract painting.

HuMp Day Haiku – My style of journaling
“I
have always felt that my journal was not the place for negativity. Some
may disagree but for me, I want to focus on what is good in my life, not what
isn’t. I truly believe that giving energy to the good makes it even
better, just as giving energy to the unpleasant parts of our lives only
amplifies it. Besides, at this point in my life I can look back and see
that those unpleasant times were all part of growing and really the “good
stuff” when all is said and done.”
in five years depends on what you read (books, articles), the people you
associate with, and what you listen to (ie. inspirational CDs/podcasts/etc).”
I firmly believe that as truth. And so I was delighted to read about Teesha’s recent intention and it’s result for her.
Mothers Day
This Mothers Day I’m feeling the pain of those who have lost their mothers, and those mothers who have lost a child. I don’t know why. Perhaps it’s the first year I have no children at home? Perhaps it’s left over from missing my daughter?
At the same time I feel blessed that my mother is still alive, even though we are estranged, and that my son is doing well on his own. And that I have this entire day all to myself.
In any case, those of you who are missing your mother or your child have my fervent prayers for peace of heart.
