a stray dog

going my way

early spring

(Shiki Kukai, February 2008)

floots said...: i'm fascinated by
and jealous of
the sense of aimless purpose displayed by stray dogs
they know exactly where they're going - nowhere
and they're ok with that
another spring - i'm ok with that
thanks for setting me thinking bill
cheers; 10:26 AM

Anonymous said...: I too like it!; 7:35 AM
Bill said...: Andrew, John, pat, and gautami, my thanks. There was something in the moment, including its indeterminacy, that said spring to me.; 7:55 AM

and i liked it very much to read floot`s comment:

"...they know exactly where they're going - nowhere
and they're ok with that..."; 1:22 AM
Tikkis said...: I cannot stop thinking:

a wanderer's
worn-out shoes --
it was a long winter

(Floot's comment is fine); 11:09 AM
Bill said...: Some days, tikkis, it still is a long winter around here.; 7:21 PM
