Thank you to the leaves, from lanterns in Spring, Summer greens and Autumn gold, scattered petals that feed the soil. You’ve brought us joy, you’ve brought us shade from the blazing sun, shelter from wind and rain. You clear the air we breathe, always giving and giving.
returning home
morning dew sparkles
weaving the way

We wish you all a wonderful Thursday and to all our friends in the US who celebrate, a very Happy Thanksgiving.
With love from Eivor, Pearl and Xenia xxx

A joyful haibun and a wonderful walk, Xenia. Coincidentally, we have a local walk, a rather long one that seems to cover much of North Norfolk, called Weavers’ Way!

There’s a lovely meter to the prose section, like the running of a dog–steady with slight breaks as something interesting happens off to the side.

Yes, nature never stops giving, whether or not we take time to appreciate the gifts. And morning dew on cobwebs beside a path does indeed make a bright, pretty “weaving.”
