A very appropriate prompt for me right now … for I am running around in circles almost choosing to be stressed out! Oh my, Holy Isle is quite a lovely site, worthy of a visit, it can be found here. It is a Buddhist Retreat at the top of the world … well at the top of Scotland. Please do visit.

noh where 
When I am stressed (which rarely happens now that I don’t work!), if I can, I go outside – change of venue helps. Or I take deep belly-breaths til I can feel my body relax. Or, I read lovely poetry, like yours!
4Joy I love the comment you initially make about not being stressed so much anymore because you are retired. That is why I am stressed (said somewhat tongue in cheek). THX.
Come back to the ‘now’ and breath~ love haiku ~ namaste, ^_^
In my mind and my heart I know. 😉
Awesome haiku. You have touched the deeper layers of this week’s Tackle It Tuesday.
Thank you. My better haiku roll of the tongue so to speak. Those that I struggle with … are still struggling when I place them. Ah well.
Awesomely written…Very beautiful haiku!
Thank you.
Dear one, bring that peacefulness to where you are and tell the stress goodbye. That is my wish for you. Lovely haiku! xox
Hugs and thinking of you.
in stress i often retreat into nature to find my peace again….may it draw nearer to you…
Brian, that IS the thing to do. And I know it. Sadly if I have a deadline, generally self imposed I begin the stress thing. I have changed so much about my life that needed changing but not all. I guess that it is a work in progress sort of thing.
I like the line “living in each sound.” Lovely 🙂
Thanks.
Now that I am no longer working, I see how others think they are working hard. If I don’t get my nose back into my business instead of listening to their whinging, I’ll get stressed.
See how it fires me up? I wanted to say that I loved your words. There’s something about how you put them together, Raven!
You are too funny!
