Hey everyone,

Thanks for sticking with me this April, now 2/3rds gone. I haven’t been able to really dig into my haiku the way I do most years, but I’m still grateful for the regular practice and required pause.

I used gratitude as a prompt this year (everyday writing about something I’m grateful for) and here’s the key to those gratitudes so far:

• 1 – Spring
• 2 – Rain
• 3 – Flowers/Roses
• 4 – My birthday
• 5 – Coffee
• 6 – Friendship
• 7 – The Moon/Eclipse
• 8 – Seeds/Possibility
• 9 – Meditation
• 10 – Eggs/Possibility
• 11 – Slowness/Patience
• 12 – Yoga
• 13 – The Trail/Running/Hiking
• 14 – To Do Lists/Getting Things Done!
• 15 – Myth and story
• 16 – Butterflies/Cocoons/Evolution
• 17 – My dog/All dogs
• 18 – Backyard birds
• 19 – Glass blowing/Trying new things
• 20 – Going with your gut/Also? Sweet potatoes
• 21 – Trees/Heartwood

And now we’re kicking off the fourth and final week with Earth Day! I’m grateful for  the intrinsic light of possibility that allows us to keep our promises on Earth Day, to Earth and to each other.

Looking for the light
the center of everything
at my fingertips
