the calm. photography by ssj, dec. 2016
anticipation,
suspended among the clouds,
brings calm surrender.

- when the lustered sea embraces the sand, is it to claim or cede its flotsam? when my mind sails with the rolling wind, is it to cast or catch a sparkle?

Beautiful shot from above the clouds. The sun seems to be cheeky, hiding behind those clouds 🙂 Hope you had a good trip and that was a sweet haiku to go along with your photo. Being up in the sky and traveling can certainly bring about a sense of calm and peacefulness around us, and within us 🙂
Thanks, Mabel. This was a sunrise. At one point, the sun did throw a sharp laser beam diagonally across the sky 😊. Still on travel & will not be able to post much until next year. Thanks again.
Love your haiku! Just what I feel above the clouds too 🙂
Thanks, Tiny. Being above the clouds has always been a humbling experience for me. 😊
