A friend and colleague is leaving the workplace nest…time to discover other adventures.  Although she will be terribly missed, it is such an exciting journey ahead.

caterpillar rests
absorbing nature’s bounty
waits at the crossroad
drenched in strength and symmetry
butterfly’s next odyssey

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

  1. What a lovely piece! I had to laugh at your reference to the caterpillar. I read a post elsewhere where they were experiencing a caterpillar plague and weren’t so thrilled with the caterpillars!
    Of course, I love the butterflies!
