    Another week gone by.

    So fast.

    I wonder, what did all of you do with your week?

    Did you meet with friends? Did you spend time by yourself? Did you do something that you love doing?

    Or did you just go through the motions and show up where you’re supposed to show up and do the things that are expected of you?

    Me, I mostly did the latter. And while doing things like going to and from work, taking my kids to and from dance and soccer practice, I found myself occasionally surprised by the following moments.

    (1)

    one by one
    the blossoms take their leave
    on a gentle breeze

    (2)

    the waxing moon
    halfway to full
    she rubs her belly

    (3)

    even here
    on the restroom floor
    a cherry petal

    (4)

    deep inhale
    before entering the office
    the smell of spring rain

    (5)

    whether my mood
    be foul or not
    the warbler sings

    (6)

    cool and overcast
    an egret flies overhead
    in solitude

    (7)

    high in the trees
    shaking the branches
    children laugh and shriek
