Ripples chase the shore,
Skipping stones across the lake,
Each leap breaks the still,
Circles widen, then dissolve,
Echoes of a fleeting joy.
Postscript:
This tanka captures the vivid and serene moment of skipping stones across a tranquil lake, with each stone’s leap symbolizing fleeting joys and the ripple effect they create.

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.
