The Pleasure of Reading

thunderstorm
breeds a welcome stillness
after power fails
reading by candlelight
sipping tepid tea

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. One of my favorite, rare moments during the year, is to enjoy the quiet of a power outage. I love this!

      4. What a lovely compliment…In the past 4 years I am slowly improving. I am a like a late blooming artist…gradually pulling away from drawing stickmen.

      2. I took a similar photo a few years ago during a power outage and I was happy I had a few good books to read in case it lasted a day or two,.
