My fingers are crossed that the Liberal candidate gets across the line( words I thought I'd never say as a far-left voter). The far-right photographer and makeup artist leads by just 25 votes.#auspol .

Small Mercies, a haibun. Find more haiku and haibun here: kasasagi.blog

The following haibun is presented on faded yellow background and illustrated with a sumi-e painting of a bee on a water lily.

Small mercies

If I could speak to my younger self, I would say it's okay to find something beautiful and enjoy it simply for that. That watching romantic K-dramas will carry you through more dark nights than John Wick. That you will find the love of a woman whose love will save your life.

I would say not to rush as if there were a prize at the finish line. Winning at life is living it now.Living well does not mean being nice, but kind-and kindness requires its own toughness.

The following haibun is presented on faded yellow background and illustrated with a sumi-e painting of a sunset viewed through the leaves of a maple tree, a crow standing in the foreground.

Thresholds

Sometimes, if I'm lucky, I wake without pain. My mind surfaces first, the body lagging behind, still wrapped in the cotton of sleep. If I keep still, if I hold that awareness lightly, the moment can last a few minutes.

autumn sunset-
in the last light
a crow

The following haibun is presented on faded yellow background and illustrated with a sumi-e painting of a fig bonsai with meandering trunk.

It reads:

Contingent

When I first became ill - then disabled - I was angry at the pain, the betrayal of my body. More than that, I grieved the futures: hiking the Nakasendo, being a backup dancer in Bridgerton (I was a good ballroom dancer), a thousand other fancies that flit through a reasonably imaginative mind.

With time, I see how many were only pleasant ideas. Most lives hinge on smaller chances than we imagine.

fifty seeds -
only one bodhi
tree
