Haibun: Divine Timing

The snows are melting into rivers and behind the mountains Spring waits to bring her blessings. Gulls are waiting in the sun for the tide to turn. They trust the sea. We trust the moon. She understands where peace is needed and leaves a perfect blue behind the clouds.

the water tells us
divine timing in life
always flows

  8. Lovely words and pictures. Cherries blossom in Glasgow gardens and daffodils poke their heads up in January…strange climactic goings on…I think there’s a sting in the tail of this Winter yet so enjoy mild whilst ye have it 😉

    1. Thank you for your kind words Toni. We were hiking further north the other day and locals told us it was warmer now than it had been all Summer. Our Winter has never been this short and the snows may still return. Sending you much love 💖 xxx

  21. Divine timing, melting snow and gorgeous photos combine into a superb haibun, Xenia. And spring still waits. She’s keeping us on our toes. We had a long powercut from five yesterday afternoon until the early hours of this morning. They only happen when the weather is cold, never in the summer! Enjoy your whippet walks! xxx

    1. Thank you for your kind words Kim and sorry to hear about your power cut. It sounds as if it is colder where you are – we have around 10-12C here and some early flowers. Hope you will keep the power and that it warms up in Norfolk soon 💖 xxx
