Nonnie's Carpe Diem Haiku #733: The Wabash River


waterfall along the camino

Inspiration from Basho:
for a while
secluded behind the waterfall
summer retreat begins

From Kristaan:
the sound of water
soothing - like meditating
behind the waterfall


My Haiku:
along the Wabash
the river of childhood days
savored to this day 


Hoosier Quote:
“Ocean: A body of water occupying 
about two-thirds of a world made for man- who has no gills.”
~Ambrose Bierce~

Interesting series here. Water refreshes us and is vital to life, even if we can't breathe it ;)

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether ...
