New Phase

It’s the parsley’s turn

found a swallowtail caterpillar

on that herb sharing

a pot with tomatoes

full grown and munching

a last meal of greens before

the transformation

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.

Hurry up and wait

As we travel again

Riding the rails back

Home to the familiar

one more yesterday

becomes a memory gift

for us to savor

Lunch at the Deli

Matinee performance in Midtown

Circle Line boat tour

walk with me, my love

here, there, and everywhere - in

a concrete jungle

now well beyond dawn

we travel in reverse

connections, stations

on an adventure into

a new old city

(Jorio/ Joria-haibun/tanka)

hatching

all scrabbling for safety

or food; all of

the little eggs on

the kale hatch silently

a mass exodus

the explosion of creatures;

the first instar stage

all around a least

two larger well camouflaged

green caterpillars who happily

munch my gardens' kale

‘more’ems vs ‘less’ons

apparently swallowtails like kale

found a green caterpillar,

eggs and a cocoon

in this late September

delight family

neighbors and friends with chewed leaves

fun discovery

dreamy date

celebratory dinners make diners

enjoy what was as

well as what is

and what will be

flights of fancy right

outside the window of the

airport eatery

commuter and bi-planes land -

helicopter circles too

just me and you

enjoying time at the

semi-fancy local place

filling our own space

Inspired by: If you are going to consume happiness,

produce happiness.
