Jewish Woman Finds Rebirth in California after Running

The Journey in Haikus:


Aversion

when I visit Mom
greets me at the door with do
I want to shower?


Craving

Is one published book
so much to ask from the world
after laughing at me?


Attachment

My beloved son,
smart, handsome too; hope he
won't get her pregnant.


Renunciation

Jewess is leaving:
home; cat; refrigerator
Bring Water; Zoloft....



The Journey

Yesterday, New England chills;
Today, cold then hot
flashes in California.


Humility

The smart black shoes
my daughter gave me;
cheaper than new ones.


Illusion

Indian Restaurant
bread came late, can't sop up meal:
My empty platter.


Compassion

Son-in-law brings me
chocolate but my daughter,
eats it, sparing me.


Restraint

This is the good life:
whole foods, skip dessert,
post-midnight noshing.


Temptation

Concert ; trance music
he sets up my tent....I hope
I won't get horny.


Awakening

peachy rose! I smell,
sighing, praise God's creations...
my nose, it is wet.


Nirvana

Five foot Jewess
with a harem of men!
My teeth on the table.


Enlightenment

Lacking health and wealth,
she walks alone with Goddess;
Give up the bitching.

Oh my, only you can do this. It's too many things for me to capture in a short space. I do love it and relate to so much it. I wanted to say that I miss you, call me anytime. I wish you every success in California. You're brilliant, you'll make it, I promise.

Love, Janet xoxoxoxo

Well done! My fave line- "when I visit Mom
greets me at the door with do
I want to shower?" - makes me laugh - reminds me of my Mom

Amusing? yes.
Poignant? assuredly.
Well done
