Life as it is…

October 7, 2016 By Marit 9 Comments

Life as it is…
that means that people die.
Last week, one of my best friend’s father passed away.
The funeral is today.

Here’s a book-haiku that I posted in 2013.
I re-post it now because it fits today’s feelings.

18-haikuboeken

Dagboeknotities
Het leven zoals het is
Tot het ons loslaat
Notes in a Journal
Life As It Is
Until It Releases Us

I submit this haiku to Haiku my Heart

Life is unpredictable,
celebrate it while you can.

    Sending a hug and love to you and your friend, and her family. How grateful I am for your notes, your words, and this connection that spans far between the physical space that separates us…

    Incredible how ‘life as it is’ can be such a powerful line in itself.
