Never Still

light shifts in the trees,
fallen leaves tumble and turn,
going with the flow

beached downstream for a moment
before another wind comes

Copyright 2023 Brenda Davis Harsham

Notes: I’ve been feeling like a leaf in a high wind for weeks now, but I have good news. We found a new house, and we’ve moved, lock, stock, mops, buckets, garden arches, several gnomes and more. We’re feeling a bit bedazzled, befuddled and bamboozled at the scope and pace, but we’re happier day by day in our new space. (Still too many boxes.) Also in Florida last week on business, I was caught in the Hurricane Idalia evacuation (after arriving in Tampa one hour before). I’m in awe of the stalwart Floridians, smiling in the face of dire predictions and taking hurricanes in stride.

Thanks to everyone for your good wishes and support during my family’s summer of change. I hope you’re all well and finding magic in the small things, like the resilience of people and the movement of leaves in a stream.

  3. Ahh, where are you living now?
    Sounds like happiness there! Boxes will all be empty and gone soon.
    Are the kids still all at home?
    How long has it been since I visited?

    Well, anyway, I love your photos and your Haikus.
    It’s always a pleasure to visit here.

    Be well, and enjoy your new home!!!! 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
