New Normal
There is always a moment — small, quiet, almost forgettable — when the spark stops being a warning and becomes a state. It never looks like a turning point from the outside. It’s not a dramatic shift. It’s not a cinematic beat. It’s a subtle internal click, a recalibration so slight that only someone who has lived this cycle as many times as I have would recognize it.

Thanks. I ha e seen elk and dust devils but t didn’t want to search for hours for a photo.
I know you have a strong relationship with nature. I wish to become the line above this Haiku true!
Last line made me smile! Great haiku, Andrea!
Well-wrought! Some spiritual traditions liken the ego to a dust devil, and the proper method of dealing with it often appears just as the Elk in your lovely poem!
Oh, the life on the prairie. The elk is probably oh just another dust devil cough, cough.
Nice photograph, if you enjoyed drawing like me ,you'll draw that and add some spicy
I wonder if they're concerned and graze anyway.
Lol, this reminded me of the cats in my neighbourhood. They'll be chilling in the middle of the roads and we need to steer our cars to extreme left or right to avoid hitting them because they wouldn't move an inch 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey! Great photography. Was that by you? And your Haiku captures its undaunted spirit.
Wow, someone actually captured that moment!
