1,000. morning practice


creating
 something to say, searching—
a thousand mornings
*
another haiku
this one makes a thousand—
smiling
*
how you start your day
makes a difference, the man said—
try smiling



This post is my morning practice. I have for the past thousand mornings been writing this haiku-photo blog, searching for words to express thoughts and feelings. Feeling mostly eager and inspired, though often at-a-loss, uncertain, resistant, sometimes happy or sad and even angry, but that was only once. And at the end of every morning I have given thanks, placed my palms together in front of my heart with a gentle bow of my head. Gasho🙏
