spiritual society (tanka)

CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI, tanka 1 Minute

wise old woman
faithful gatekeeper
giving her blessings
too old to walk the path
mumbling her last Hail Mary’s

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. They are not easy and I don’t want to get too ahead in this serie because I ordered the book and will get it only next week. I did the same with the last series Chèv did with Pablo Coelho…I love this writer…I have several of his books but when these series come up, I think it is a great time to grow (or try) busy reading…am reading The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying…take 2…I get so absorbed then confused …but I think I need to read it and apply some of the teachings. Hope you are well and enjoying our snow and cold these days 😉

      1. You made me laugh with “getting absorbed then confused”, lol! But that’s what makes it interesting, all a part of the soup of learning I guess. Am well, thank you for asking. Still waiting for the first big snow storm:)

      2. Really? sheesh, we have had snow all week but nothing to stop traffic but then again, I was chicken driving slower than a horse and buggy last Thursday…my grandsons no longer hold me in their esteem.
