Water debacle in basement (not the first, hope the last), backlogged Haiku, these were scribbled in funny places, not in notebook, finally setting them down. Backwards:

Haiku #291

Soften to healing
If you fall tensed you might break
Let go of control

LBM 6/28/2023

Haiku #290

Singing in the rain
Faithfully trusting Love’s light
Dancing in the dark

LBM 6/28/2023

Haiku #289

Mind is a window
Unlimited in its scope
Keep it wide open

LBM 6/25/2023
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Haiku #288

Soft at our edges
Formlessness defining form
Spaciousness trusting

LBM 6/24/2023
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Haiku #287

I was a nomad
Belonging was elusive
Lonely and alone

LBM 6/22/2023
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Haiku #286

Body Mind Spirit
Indefinable essence
All uniquely one

LBM 6/21/2023
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Haiku #285

Choose your words wisely
Your tongue can be a weapon
Or it can bring peace

LBM 6/21/2023
