2187. playing hooky?


all the way up
little voices tumbling down
playing hooky?

 

Yesterday afternoon, early, around 1 o’clock, I went for a walk in the park. It was a beautiful sunny-windy-crispy kind of day. In the distance, I heard gleeful chatter and looked up to see two kids running down the long hill heading my way. Why aren’t they in school? I wondered.



2186. the moon


chilly autumn sky
the moon takes center stage
playing it cool


 

The following is from 1Q84, by Haruki Murakami:  

Aomame raised her glass to the moon and asked, “Have you gone to bed with someone in your arms lately?”  The moon did not answer. “Do you have any friends?” She asked. The moon did not answer. “Don’t you get tired of always playing it cool?” The moon did not answer.

holding on 
until the very end

“Time has a way of showing us what really matters.”  When you slow down and look around, you can see the beauty that’s always there.
