This week is all about calming down. I just finished another month of NaPoWriMo and I'm pretty tired. Lots of poetry stuff in the last week. I need to CTF down.
The Prompt: One Spec of Dust
Again this week's prompt comes from the Zen by the Brush book by Myoshi Nancy O'Hara.
"Day after day,
Day after day,
Dust of the mind collects;
Be sure to wash it away
And find your original self."
– Zen Saying
And again, first task is to sit for a meditation on that for 5-10 minutes or however long you feel is good to you.
The Drawing
My Haiku
…inspired by the drawing.
Save one spec of dust,
a small thing floating along–
dome of the blue sky.
The Reflection
When I meditated on this, trying to empty my mind, I kept seeing one spec of dust escaping my third eye. De-cluttering is a very one-at-a-time process, so that's what I tried.
Now you.
