Friday haiku (gellyfish) and art journaling

September 27, 2019 By Marit 10 Comments

Good morning sweeties – another week has gone by with sunshine and rain (lots of rain yesterday!) but right now the sun is shining and it’s a beautiful Autumn morning… the end of September and it’s almost my birthday (next week.) Time flies, but on the beach waves roll in and out – in an everlasting cadence, ignorant of hours and clocks. And every once in a while, the waves bring something ashore…

The photo is made by my friend Lena Schreijenberg

Kompaskwal. Verdwaald.
Uit koers geraakt wijst hij nu
alle kanten op.
Compass jellyfish
pulled off course. Lost. Now it points
in all directions.

I submit this haiku to Recuerda Mi Corazon where our lovely hostess Rebecca brings us all together to share a haiku on Friday: Haiku my Heart.

My new job keeps me occupied three days a week, so I try to squeeze as much ‘must do’s’ and atelier-time in the four free days that remain during the week. At the beginning of the month I was still seeking, ’cause I wanted to do so much in those four days that I couldn’t really choose what to begin with, resulting in doing nothing… but a routine presents itself by now and I got two art journal spreads to show.

    Wat een mooie kwal en ook weer prachtige pagina’s – nog steeds met oude mannetjes zie ik :). Ik heb stiekem gelezen over je nieuwe werk, wat heerlijk dat het je zo goed bevalt! Dikke knuffel van mij en Dana ❤️

      Haha, dat hoef je niet ‘stiekem’ te doen hoor Melo, alles wat ik plaats mag gelezen worden (en zo niet, dan ‘blur’ ik het zodat het onleesbaar wordt.) Ik vind het trouwens wél knap dat je mijn handschrift op een scherm kunt lezen – je oogjes doen het goed!

    Even the lost things (and people) in this world know more than we think they know. A glorious weekend to you, Marit!

    thank you for this ocean beauty and a compass that shines light in all directions-just like beautiful YOU!
    enjoy each day as you navigate the autumn season, golden light and new rhythm to your days.
    hugs from across the sea!
