A photo essay of MIRROR in the Third Street Canvas. The poem is displayed in the window of the LABYRINTH PRESS CAFE. I enjoyed a wonderful vegetarian meal with family members Fred, Rabi, Helen (who also played photographer), Dave, Cynthia, and Rebecca.

I am tackling the NANOWRIMO challenge this month, so blog posting has taken a back seat, I am sorry to say to my loyal readers and friends. However, what a great time to begin a haiku-post tradition expanding Laughing Yogini’s Poetry tradition?
There is a great tradition of linking haiku and meditation, particularly zen practice ~ look for a post on that topic AFTER November. Photo coming to this page soon.
In the meanwhile, I recommend you check out Mahala’s Friday Flowers. How I could ever have the audacity to post any of my flower pics after seeing her incredible PHOTOGRAPHIC MEDITATIONS is something I may figure out in the next life.
Enjoy!

Half-Moon over Ring Road (barefoot photos)
Here is an excerpt from Dr. Jay’s post on Yoga for Cynics.
A friend always tells me when I’m being Zen-like and irritating…particularly when, just after yoga class, I seem unable to form a solid opinion about where we should go for beer…wanting simply to flow along with others’ plans like a babbling brook…or something…and I appreciate that.
Meditating, I
become a pain in the ass
to all of my friends

My response: Half-Moon Haiku!
Old body flies through air,
stretches stiff limbs into joy —
Awakened freedom
