Journey piled on journey
At a distance of a thousand years
Will you see?
From the pines of Sue,
To the living pine groves

The fall of leaves
has left some autumn
on the upper branches


No trail to follow
where the teacher has wandered off —
the end of autumn

Going through the gate,
I am also a wanderer
this twilight in autumn.

Compared to last year,
this has even more loneliness –
autumn evening.

Nancy’s photo challenge for this week is: Shine, “Has the sunshine or any other light source caused you to stop because it’s highlighting something you didn’t notice before?”

The design of this building; that is, the way it’s structure invited light and shadow to play with it’s mirrors and windows, not only caused me to stop it also invited me to revisit the building at different times of the day to “be in awe” of how it reflected ongoing changes of the weather as well as the sun’s journey.

he’s about to draw his…cell phone
…once someone had been in your life – you could keep that person there despite the agony of loss, as long as you had faith that you could bring the sum of all your hours together in one shining moment.

To see we must first forget the name of the thing we are looking at.

I have found that shifting focus towards a shop window invites me to See Differently.
