ik 163
(renga as I was taught)
in concert
in the evening
I out the darkened window
watching the silence
home hums, fades - then crickets chirp
cicadas sing, bull frogs call
distant traffic drones
and the lone train whistle joins
the rustling trees
*
Inspired by: Each day, pause to do layered listening -
the loudest, obvious sounds and then the next layer down, etc.
from: Instant Karma by Barbara Ann Kipfer

good fortune right now.

Karma is cause and effect. Dharma means cosmic law.
Yoga is enlightenment through movement and Tao is the
practice of acting in harmony with the fundamental essence
of everything you encounter.
Note: my haiku (or other forms) are my interpretations
or of how I might put the inspirational sentence
into practice, for me. Also, I am going in my own order.
