Good morning! Happy #haikusaturday Today I share a #senyru. The photo is not of Caseiopia. It was actually taken by me a couple years ago in the Galapagos Islands.

Self-Trust, Self-Love and Making a graphic Novel Blub, blub, blub

It's been a while, but I write a post on my Substack. And it's about my #kidlit graphic novel.

This is a close-up of a sketchbook piece to go with a haiku.

You are so kind. That rock has caught my eye several days in a row. We don't have Tortoises here, but we do have turtles in the river.

I got such a kick out of watching this one breathe.

Hidden insects singing
Dappled sunlight expanding
cool breeze, leaves falling

Quiet Tortoise sits
Still and silent day-by-day
It's a rock, silly.

Cabbage moths flutter
tiny white leaves whisked by wind
Hungry for nectar.

Waves rumble to shore
tumbling rock smooth for skipping

Lots of rocks in various sizes. One is shaped like a heart.

A very good reason to prioritize it. I have found that time in nature is my well. I just drove 1.74 hours to go to a beach.

I have come to realize that we have to make choices on where our priorities go. And sometimes, even things that we love take a back burner for a while. I tend to read more in the winter and I'm learning to be content with that.

Follow your rhythm. No guilt of shame.

I have been struggling with this, too. Bedtime reading used to work for me, but these days, it doesn't matter how good the book is, I fall asleep too quickly. In the mornings, I only get a little time for me and I want to journal, to spend a little time meditating and planning my day.

I'm shocked. Not one reference to "It's 5 o'clock somewhere." That's cocktail hour, thus evening. I beleive that's what Jimmy Buffet would have said.

That's so sweet! Bringing joy to the world in little ways is fun.

With #aphantasia, I have to work to hold the memory of an encounter inside of me. This painting and #haiku is that #memory. I find the less afraid I am of losing it, the more it stays with me and allows me to express it through my art. #micropoetry #sketchbook

#haikusaturday

We have a a couple female hummingbirds coming to our feeders. This morning one arrived just as I was changing out her food. She didn't back off and paused inches from the feeder in my hand.

Good morning #haikusaturday Saturday friends. My long line felt so didactic and unnecessary so I left it out. #micropoetry #senyru

I love it. And I love snap dragons. Such a glorious bounty of colors amongst lovely words.

We finally got a magnet that shows clean or dirty. Not 100% fool-proof, but mostly.

Amazing. I'm sure it was both scary and exhilarating.
