Lovely, Janice!! So many underlying meanings packed here. Happy New Year to you and Gene...health and many more amazing trips.
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best in the new year, Cheryl-Lynn. We are staying close to home for a while till the funding rebuilds for yet another trip!
DeleteHousekeeping? It sounds different, butas i look closer and re-read this haiku in response on our first prompt of 2017 then I think "Yes ... housekeeping is a kind of meditation and can also work like a pilgrimage in your own surroundings".
ReplyDeleteWell, there are two edges to the sword of housekeeping. One is it seems to never end.... The other is I find it cathartic to clean. A way to get things in order both physically and mentally. To sort through the cobwebs both in my home and in my mind... So, yes, housekeeping.
