no news for me today
no hysterical talking heads
no sick counts, death tolls or lies to decipher
i’m just listening to the wind
no news is not necessarily good news

We have to sometimes just listen to the wind. I’m glad you did, though you’re right, the rest went on.
I like the Gogyohka. Can always count on you for a new form.

It’s a fairly easy form and short and sweet! I did here our governor shut the state down. Virginia joining the ranks. 😟

I have been listening to the birds call and response, the sound of hostas bursting through the earth, the crinkle of leaves unfolding, the nibble of a rabbit enjoying the new shoots.
Thanks for a wonderful way to experience the world.
Good luck with your April experience — do like the image of pink flamingos in the snow.
Take good care. Stay safe and strong. All the best!
