    Nice tanka poem. I'm new to writing on Blogger, will have to work out how to do the tags which I see by your post they are called Labels. Interesting.

      Thanks, Elsie. I find the 'labels' on the right side under post settings on the page where I write the posts. Maybe yours will be there too. Took me quite a while to get things figured out to suit me. Then something changes and I have to do it all again! Keeps the old brain working.

      I am really attempting to work on using as few words as possible just for the fun of it.

    I like your response. As I haiku it is complete, as a tanka it is resolved.

Without believe and trust you cannot let go. my response - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Have you ever done one of those team building exercises?  You know where you close your eyes and fall backwards into the waiting arms of the other members?  We did this with a group of kids we sponsored.  It went fine and no one hit the floor.  In my insane mind I decided to just randomly fall into my husbands arms.  He always caught me.  We were in our twenties at the time.  While visiting with our neighbors on their patio, once more I fell into my husband's waiting arms. ...

Carpe Diem's Theme Week 4: (1) Latifa Prayer, introduction This is a theme week at CDHK, Our host will guide us to explore the Latifa Prayer.  The following is the prayer. I exist I desire I hope I believe and I trust I let go I love I am prepared Our host has an explanation you can read here .  Or you can read this .  This is not a prayer or concept with which I am familiar.  It will be a real experience to learn about this approach to mediation, self growth and awareness.  My mind is still moving through Europe and the things we saw, the faith, the absence of faith, the grudges held over the centuries and the folks that just want peace. ancient walls covered in parables speak to those who see ©   Janice 'petra domina' Adcock Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for daily prompts on  CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI
