Embrace

I embrace decay,
trusting it to feed the seeds
too small for me to see now.

    Seems like good advice to me. That's a prettier up mushroom you found.

      It's sooooo cute, isn't it! Though I kind of want to try to paint a watercolor version of it and write the senryu alongside it.

    I absolutely love what this poem says about hope. How it can come in ways that are unexpected, and even unseen. Yep, every line sings to my wild witchy woman's heart!

      Excellent *said in my best Mr. Burns voice* That is exactly what I was going for. Now to internalize the message.

    What a hopeful attitude! The word "hope" there makes it a much less fatalistic attitude.

    We should never be critical of any living thing no matter how long it lives. So many living things are beautiful regardless of their time to exist.

    Good compost! And it helps us trust in the cycles of what is.

    Out of the smallest of things, such a tall tree (or mushroom) grows.
    I'm starting to appreciate the short form more and this one helps
