    The brevity of the poem enhances its message, encouraging mindfulness and the calmness of taking life step by step. I like your poets.

    This hit particularly hard today. One day at a time indeed, all us finite humans can manage at a time. Great senryu, Cathy!

    A deft defamiliarization of today!

    One day at a time. One poem at a time. This was stunningly relevant. Excellent.

    Something that I will need to keep in mind quite a bit over the next few years. Beautifully done!

    This is lovely and wise, Cathy! Deep breath, these days too shall pass!

  • So true

  • Love this. You nailed this, I hope it gets TS. πŸŽ‰

  • Consider the lilies of the field.... Of course, planning for something in the future in the present is not always a bad thing. It's more the fretting over it we should avoid.
