"Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world."
— Laozi (Tao Te Ching)
Yesterday was another good day for prayer, contemplation, remembrance, and a short road trip to a peaceful spot. I spent some time with the sun, grass and trees in Saint Edward State Park which was former Catholic Seminary. Picture of one of the buildings above.
crows squabble in trees
seaplane flows through clouds
sun dances in my heart
After this serene time, I went to Juanita Beach Friday Market with the view of Lake Washington and live music. Amidst the vibrant fruits, vegetables, flowers was a heartwarming sign over the vegetables - Do you need prayer, ask us to pray for us - we really want you to.
"The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places.
But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now
mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater." - J.R.R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings)
I have decided to include at least one "poem" each day. I shall have to look up the definition of poem . . .

why pretend to Haiku
I'm older and slower
three lines are easy,too
