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 ...
The winding and cutting movements are strong and convey the power of water.
