Before and After
I start with this inspiring haiku …
from behind a veil
she enlightens fragile blossoms
a beautiful sight
… © Chèvrefeuille
… and fly away for a while …
before and after
swirling in the veil of night’s
oh hazy moon
… catching the moment …

In Distant Mirage
Buzzing Arise
Joyful Wings
With open Limbs
with open limbs
embracing the world
even as dead
coming across brutality
being humble in nature

The Snail Walk
awakened in early light
your breath beside – a soft breeze
dove purring in delight
Today is the World Poetry Day … so I have been busy … though tired … and I don’t know why. Didn’t go to the Philosophy Cirkel tonight but I bought a ticket for my eldest grandchild so we will go together to Budapest soon. I’m so looking forward this.
engine of energy
starting the dolphins jump
soon followed
the solitary swimming
always leads to company
In the morning breeze … it starts …
in silent content
morning breeze starts
with a sigh in end
… and I remembered my haiku about the snail … that popped up before sleep … and … was still there … in the morning …
a lovely breeze
carried along the night
by my dream
… my snail haiku …

My Love!
standing strong
in full bloom dressed purple
my heart bow
My feelings for nature and reading the post … the haiku was strong and wanted to be presented first. And I just follow my feelings and instincts …
the squirrel
grabs the fir cone in delight
a pulse of love
There are so many kinds of love in nature … a richness … a generosity … sharing … cykling … consensus … collusion … movements …. I will call it pulse.
(sometimes its difficult for me to find the right words, I’m sorry for that, I so wish my English was better)
The pulse of nature … the pulse in nature … the pulse out of nature …the pulse of grows and evolution in nature … that extraordinary energy and power … the pulse … only nature possesses …
osprey wings shiver
when ocean depth roar desperately
bay lost again
nature sometimes takes away
for new to soon be welcomed
… and I am just an observer … but also a part … which goes with a responsibility … for all of us.
my deepest love
for that mighty creativity
only in nature
when meeting the you
only to pulse together
… could be read … ‘my love’ … instead of … ‘the you’ …
My love!

Body – Earth – Air
I get a little disturbed by god-talking I must say … I would like a totally secular world … I really would … sure of a more human friendly and earth friendly if so …
-Religions twist people’s minds! … for sure, I think.
putting belief
outside your self – unforgivable
betrayal
new gods like ancient
are for leaving behind
It can be seen everywhere … and during all times … another way is to experience the nature … the pure nature … close as macro and micro … calm and furious … friendly and aggressive … with open eyes … you will find its spirit everywhere …
in the eye
of hurricanes and bees
a nature heart
… sometimes harder to read … but there always is an understanding to find out … a problem to be solved … for new problems to find …
with knowledge
you may find wisdom to act
sustainable
for tree roots to run old
for bees to pollinate
… far out and deep down … and also in between … start close … body – earth – air ….
Now I think … I should be more poetic … relate more … picturing more … using nature … symbolic way … I should …. but …
… sometimes mood is like that … and sometimes like this …
Isn’t it amazing how the raindrops are kept … and sooner or later … running together … down … out for life …
“We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in.
Some of us just go one god further.”

Good Feel
When I read a blog post, an article, or what so ever … I often react to something … and my brain goes spinning … with questions … or statements … or just testing different thoughts … when reading Hoods poem … one line … struck me …
so wrong
to believe desert contains
no life
… ”Or in the wide desert where no life is found” … there are so much life in the desert!
The desert is so beautiful … hard to live in … of course … in one moment so dry and looking so unfriendly … to in next moment flower in all kinds of life … so amazing …
Then I have been thinking a lot about ”the spirit of our the self consciousness” … and I found Kristjaan’s tanka so wonderful … (actually I liked it more than Hood’s) …
old barn
in the middle of the field
so desolate
a playground for the wind
deep silence of no where (c) Chèvrefeuille
… I think … yes we are like islands … in the middle of nowhere … sometimes … we have to learn and act so we can trust ourselves … gain the self consciousness … and at the same time be aware of … that everything can be wiped out next second … we are in need for that essential … ability of … humbleness … then we earn … the silence …
a solid grain
left billions of billions
to travel
the journey of life cirkels
to meet other billions of …
… life and what it brings … wow … if you let it … the world when being young … and the world now … wow … your ‘you’ then … and your ‘you’ now … such a journey … and still are … wanting to learn more … and more … deeper and wider … from maths to philosophy … from corals in the sea to the outer universe … noticing the patterns … patterns of structure … patterns of behavior … patterns of mind …
holy three
everything’s being the spirit
life of the spiral
… my thinking … so often in my holy three … levels … body – heart – brain … and now I think of a quote by a bright lady … it’s sharp indeed …
”Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
… I’m coming closer … the end … I’ve found my place for peace and silence … but I will not … yet … be quiet …
… though I am the kind … Susan Cain named …. ”QUIET” …
… and I like it so much … always have … though sometimes challenging … I like that too …
-What now! … have I written? I think … well … it turns out as i turns out … and I’ll handle it along the way … gaining some more self consciousness along the way … too …

In the SeaShell
in the seashell
you handed me last summer
I find my silence
remembering every grain of sand
and your warm kisses all over
Carpe Diem: #1174 Silence.
Every … but One
Like the magma … in body Earth … always is in move …
that deepest
thought about you and life
rests in silence
… also the ‘I’ … inside the body … is in constant move …
… like everything …
in the unknown
you need a compass – star
guide in silence
every sunflower – but one
turn towards the sun
… almost everything … everybody but one!
Carpe Diem: #1174 Silence.
