Today our prompt at Carpe Diem is departing year, and it is extracted from Jane Reichhold’s “A Dictionary of Haiku” … it’s a nice prompt I think and it fits (of course) the time of year … Here is Jane’s example of this prompt:
slow rains
as if leaves were falling
at winter’s end
over my shoulder
snow blanketed memories
walking away
looking forward
pulled toward unknown
where will this tunnel lead?
will I fall?
fail?
be turned about?
all things new
a year
where uncertainty blooms
pick a petal
let it sail on the
currents of yesterday
blown by tomorrow
no place to settle
change is inevitable
who will I be?
who will you be?
when the last leaf falls
the wind howls
directing our path
swirling us in the direction
who are we to become?
***
My reflection on the entrance to the New Year is also inspired by the work of Paul Coelho in his work Aleph
Beginning I strive
journeying to make things clear
face to face with my past
Thanks to Kristjaan at Carpe Diem and the year of wonderful inspiration including today’s Aleph aka Alpha
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
Gud skaper noko nytt ved sitt Ord og sin Ande, vi kan ta imot det i tru og få oppleve at han gjer sitt verk med oss. Hans skaparkraft verkar konstuktivt i våre liv og skaper noko som er verdifullt for oss. Naturkreftene verkar nedebrytande, i fylgje entropilova, men Gud er Ånd og det som er født av hans Ande består. Jesu frelsesverk er fullbrakt og fullkome. Han er den siste Adam, som er ifrå himmelen og som for oss har vorte ei livgjevande ånd. Han gjev oss den Heilage Ande frå himmelen av berre nåde. Han gjev oss det evige livet.
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
Thanks for following a cowgirl on her crazy life journey.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. - Edgar Allan Poe
