ik 196 for August 2015 b

ik 196
(American renga)
laundered


different than just
washed - perhaps done with some love
sorting, pre-treat; clothes


perfumes and dyes not needed
washable fabric tumbles


snapped, hung on the line
or smoothed when when warm; away
neatly in the draws


Inspired by: Zen means doing ordinary things
willfully and cheerfully. ~ Reginald H. Blyth
from: Instant Karma by Barbara Ann Kipfer
8,879 ways to give yourself and others
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.

Thanks for your kind words. I do review all comments before posting - so if your comment disappears on you, don't fret. I will post honorable comments as soon as I am able.

I do not post or return visits to "Anonymous Comments." Adding your link to an unrelated site will not help. Most everything that ends up in spam will not be posted, especially that which makes no sense to the post.

Any 'opinions' that are not introduced, explained and are unrelated to my post will not be honored. Having a 'legitimate' blog will not help - you will be marked as spam. You will have no voice here. Thank you.
