ESP and Common Sense

Carpe Diem #928 Extra-Sensory Perception (and Common Sense)


That terrifying dream.  The curve and train trestle underpass along Hwy 5.  Riding in a crowded pickup cab.  The train whistle and an engine bearing down on us.  Startled awake.  Several times the dream occurred.  The fifteen year old was bewildered and frightened at the same time.  Then the call came.  Daddy's cousin and 3 men had been struck by a train at that very crossing.  The dream was never dreamed again.

    Well that was very interesting indeed. But even better it fit the haibun format so well, with a haiku that was dosed just right. One feels for the men involved.

      Thanks for stopping by and commenting. The men were a farmer and his farm hands. Left four families reeling. It took 4 lives to get a warning light at the crossing.

    The dreamcatcher and ESP are a powerful combination, and the haibun fits the prompt.

neighborhood of colors

Carpe Diem #1263 neighborhood of colors After living for many decades in locations a little too monochrome in their occupants, I am pleased to be living in an apartment complex populated by a wide spectrum of colors and tones.  What joy to look up while on a walk to see someone who looks nothing like a 70 year old white woman.  To see the young mother in her hijab walking with her children.  To hear the rhythm of a different language floating across the pool.  To see the sun set profiling the gay couple as they embrace.  Yes, I am loving this neighborhood of colors. jewels glisten at sunset ©    petra domina Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for daily prompts on CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI

new ways

Carpe Diem Writing and Enjoying Haiku #6 new ways T his has been the year when Hubby and I along with a whole bunch of other folks celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary . We actually started the celebration back at the end of June, our actual 'date'.  It continued with a trip to France. Returning home we began working on The Party that was delayed till the grandsons returned from a summer in Canada. As we have friends our own ages, they, too, are celebrating 50 years.  That means more trips.  Unexpected strength of hurricane Harvey resulted in Hubby and I choosing to downsize even more.  And how do two people stay together for 50 years of marriage?  Well, forgiveness, understanding and a willingness to step together into the unknown of new ways. fifty years with the same man always something new keeps me guessing what's next? © petra domina Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for daily prompts on CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI   ...
