musing on chrysanthemums and possibility, said Princess Haiku



I have been visiting some new blogs lately thanks to

Ascender Rises Above and

Haiku and Happiness

Yesterday, I discovered Creativity in Exile and found writing that lifted my spirit.

Here are a few words from the end of Laurie's post, "Blessings In..."

"My questions for you: What if all the inspiration, all the creativity, all the blessings you need are available to you in this very moment, if you would but open your hands to receive? What would you do differently today?"

My answer is that I would have played my flute more softly so that I could hear myself. I would have picked up my pen to finish rewrites on a short prose manuscript, and I would have more carefully observed the early spring flowers in my neighborhood. -Some of those blooms will be gone tomorrow...

What would you do differently?
