You have reached a quiet bamboo grove, where you will find an eclectic mix of nature, music, writing, and other creative arts. Tao-Talk is curated by a philosophical daoist who has thrown the net away.
Gillena, I’m enjoying a heavy snowstorm right now. A little hairy driving out there but I had to meet up with old work friends. Will probably be snowed in by tomorrow. Thanks on the poem <3
the ‘momentary’ underscores your poem Lisa so well – how soon the leaf vanishes, like a glimpse of Spring

I do also, Bjorn. It freezes so much out and we get to start with a fresh slate when it’s over.

Cloud cotton leaves–love that and the turn in the poem with “if momentary.”

It was a day when the sun decided to shine.
Today when I looked out a “truffula-like” cloud stopped just where it would be a tuft of green in summertime. Hence the poem :)

Loved this, Lisa. Each seasonal turn brings great change, and we can simultaneously enjoy the current state while projecting the future one.
