Daily Moments ~ Feb 22/16 ~ pure essence (a Tale & a Troiku)

CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI, Daily moments, Haiku, Troiku 1 Minute

Every day I walk about 3 km to get to work. It allows me to get to a place of calm and open heart. Being a thinker and worrier, I need to shut the chatter off by allowing it to dissipate with each step, each breath…

blues skies,
clouds in formation – hillocks
catch my breath

blue skies
lift my spirits
exude inner peace

clouds in formation – hillocks
captivating and halting
leave me breathless

catch my breath
holding nature’s pure essence
in my heart

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. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com

  2. wow I want a walk to work like that! It sounds beautiful, meditative, a great way to start the work day. Unfortunately, I live too far from my job so I must drive in.

    1. When I was going to university and working part-time, I would park my car about 6 km away. I saved on parking because that faraway I found lots of free parking and I was in great shape. I’m not sure if that’s an option for you or parking just 10 blocks away can make a difference. We notice things we don’t usually see driving. I have so many photos of doors, stairs. Most of my photos are on my way to work.

      1. I have a parking permit for the lot across the street. My employer pays for it and my car’s safe. I take walks on my lunch break but I would love to walk even more.

      3. I used to that all the time but they watch the clock now. So I stick to a route I know will get me the most walk in the amount of time I have available.

      4. Once in a while pretend you are s tourist …once a week. .. Walk less,observe more. I get ideas for stories that way. But I can only do it once in a while since it means leaving work early. I can’t wait for spring so I can walk at my break Its still too dark

    1. I really enjoy writing this form…Chèvrefeuille’s last 6th insight inspired me and I wrote a troika from his haiku. Thanks so much for your kind words, Pat. Catching my breath is a good phrase isn`t it? Great minds think alike 😉
