arboreal filtration (komorebi)
Along the path,
the canopy lets small fragments fall,
each a soft interruption spiralling,
then settling on the ground
a morning of thinking slowly.

Beautiful! I have seen it so many times in the forest and felt it too bad poetically where less is often more that we don't have a single word in English for this
Agreed, dear Soren. So, we loan words as our forebears have done in the early days of EnglishπποΈ
It often works with a different pronunciation
good write
thanks friend ποΈπ
always welcome
My 26y old old Son is cycling solo around Japan as the moment. Even though ( I am told) he identifies as an atheist, the steep terrain and long hours seem to have invoked "sugyo" in him! Now he doesn't know what comes next.

A dappled good write A. I gotta think slowly with any crypticness, unless me 3 brain cells blow a fuse and I don't have the foggiest idea of wot poems are on about! lol.
Cheers O ππ»ποΈ
Do shut up now, Orch, says Fido to me! lol.
I really love the sight of dabbled Sunlight through the branches of a tree. Even when described in a Novel. Paints a fine picture.
A Simple effect but so Wonderful.
Your Notes were of great interest too.
Thanks.
Cheers Kevin. That's something to be in the moment in and makes any writing pale in comparison to.πποΈ
Arqios, this is lovely. βA morning of thinking slowlyβ feels like something many of us have forgotten how to do. The whole piece carries a gentle, meditative calm. Beautiful work, my friend. πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬
Break neck mornings are the norm not by choice and the lining pockets are faceless and almost nameless at times. Do you think something is up in our bedroom community?ππ»ποΈ
A beautiful image here.I know many places like that.Well done comrade
Down in NSW and further off in QLD and VIC as well! ποΈππ»
May that light always come upon you through the trees Rik.

The trees are sharing creatures ποΈππ»
