explore...

all countries need regular assessment and 'medication' the environment is it healthy? then check political and economic growth is it positive? and finally the happiness factor yes difficult to monitor but try so let's begin with the prime country let's carefully #explore ourselves #vss365

a man and his dog
newly moved into
a rural town
on their first walk
of discovery

he notes the map
from A to B
and the designated time

the dog notes the lamp posts
odd gates and smells
his time is timeless

one walk
two views of #explore #vss365 #tanka #haiku

And so that sacred word 'Namaste' could be used far beyond the human-human interaction. What about human to animals? plants? stars? I even wonder if animals and plants have their own code of namaste, one to the other.
So love your explanation.
After exploring/experiencing the essence of many religions, I decided no one religion was for me. Too much human bias intruded. So now my world has a presence, a Supreme Being.

The Autism Spectrum May Be Completely Wrong...

Perhaps the mildly autistic personality may be begging to be better understood as an introvert, needing deeper understanding and acceptance...

sustain...

a flash mob raids a shopping mall with a buoyant, rising surf of music bland waves of shoppers become keen watchers photographers even smilers finally the moment closes the waves resume but now #sustain lingering musical smiles #vss365 #tanka

a bustling
late 19th century
gold-mining town
was Sebastopol
near Temora

to #sustain
one memory
Temora Rural Museum
shelters
the original bar
of the Exchange Hotel

so Sebastopol
still owns
a place
today
on Temora shire's map #vss365 #tanka

commence...

the pendulum on the grandfather clock should sway in time's perceived regular rhythms but if it stops if it is repaired does it really #commence again or merely resume a lost exchange with time #vss365 #tanka #poetry

just the occasional
mighty grain
or freight train
rumbles through
the old station now

but along the tracks

small wildflowers
are finally free
to #commence
their own
spring timetable#vss365 #tanka

autumnal...

on my car's back seat puffer jacket sun hat umbrella my poised maybe's spring in Australia has an #autumnal checklist imbued with summery hope but our Melbourne owns this checklist in all seasons #vss365 #tanka #haiku

in later lifestyles
less fireworks and
more firelight aura
the gentler music of#autumnal years#vss365 #tanka

sanguine...

a thoughtful, #sanguine mum quietly gave paints and a large, watercolour art book to her teenage daughter in the cancer ward #vss365 #tanka

she was the instigator
of a hopeful
bloody world

Lady Macbeth played
the yin and yang
of #sanguine#vss365 #haiku
