A little bit about moi:
I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator.
I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors.
Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka.
I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other.

this is beautiful! It captures that moment when everything is made all right by a mother’s touch.

I think that’s why we feel so good having our hair washed at the hairdresser (my mom was also a hairdresser).

I–ah–can’t stand strangers touch my hair. So I skip the hair washing and just get a quick cut once or twice a year. I have long hair and they just yank on it making my scalp ache! Not something I like getting done…

I go once a year now as I also want to keep my hair long and when I ask to cut only the ends, they snip off 2 inches. My daughter doesn’t like her head touched either…best part of a massage

I’ve been told massages are great if you get the right person.

Definitely!! I am fussy with that…do not want a chatterbox cos it is MY time. I talk on the phone counselling all day, so if they talk too much I want to scream and say SHUT UP…but I don’t just go somewhere else. I am looking for one now.

I don’t like strangers touching me; so I’ll leave the massages to those who like that

To find that comfort sometimes is absent. Many years can go by before the comfort is found. It’s a rough subject you pull out of the 5 words. A delicate trip to take. The flash back taking her back. It is necessary for her mind to escape the images. Melting into her soul is a good place to find safety. Your Haiku should pull at the strings of those who want to comfort and those who need the comforting. Your use of the 5 words was a moving trip through childhood and time. I hope you come again. – jk
