Renewal is the willingness to start from scratch, if necessary. - Michelle Liew
******************************************************
Beneath the aged tree,
A seamstress mends cloth tattered,
Scissors cut silence.
“My hands work though winter fades-
Spring rewards the patient weave.” ******************************************************
She forgets her past
Its torn seams now patched with care
A disguised, fair prince
“Renewal’s not mended spring
But the will to sew anew.”

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

Lovely work!
Great lesson! Beautifully written.
Wonderful words and correct we sometimes have to restart to renew
Beautiful, Michelle!
Michelle, you are so good at this!!
Beautifully crafted! The imagery is rich, the message profound, and the haikus weave seamlessly together—just like the patient work of the seamstress herself. Truly inspiring!✨
Oh wow, this was extremely powerful! Loved it!
