Moments : Flight

Inspired by: Robin @ Bird Tweets

Moments:Flight
Haiku Friday

Once you learn to fly
standing, walking, or running
Will no longer do...

Although every man believes that his decisions and resolutions involve the most multifarious factors, in reality they are mere oscillation between flight and longing.
~Herman Broch~


In Robin's post, she asked that we "ponder be-wingedment".
I did, and the haiku above was my appraisal of flight.
In my comment, I told Robin that my task would be to find a photo that
fit my haiku her post inspired.




Update:

It seems as though my everlasting energy has caught up with me,
or maybe it's the weather - I don't know.
All I know is that I feel baaaaad.
Yesterday I stayed home on account of how yucky I felt.
Today is really no exception, but I dragged myself in.
Alright, enough whining from me....

    Seriously... I ALWAYS love you haikus. They are beautiful, vivid, and thoughtful.

    Maybe when I grow up I can be like you. :o)

    Once in flight
    all else is
    tracks in the sand.

    It seems to me your lack of energy has not effect your photography skills. This is so lovely and heart warming. I love the sepia tones in the photo. Hope you feel better soon.

    I love the classic birds on a wire photograph. It always reminds me of this short film I saw before a Pixar movie once.

    i have tried and tried to comment on this post since you first wrote it.. from my iPhone...which i couldn't mange to do. this is a perfect haiku and i am tickled pink it was inspired by my post and poem. i love it! i even thought it made a perfect byline for my blog. with credit to you of course :) the simplicity of your photograph nailed it with the haiku...

    i'm still here in chicago and will be all week. i'm not on the internet much but i am anxious to begin exploring your blog once i arrive home. you are already a great inspiration :)
