poems taking a break after this morning

Wednesday October 9

I’ll be in Portland Maine from today til Sunday for the History of Technology Annual Meeting and in Philadelphia Sunday til Wednesday for the Conference of Mercy Higher Education annual meeting for Mission & Identity officers.  Crowded days so I won’t send another poem after this morning until next Thursday.   Thanks for all your comments, insightful, creative just like we should be as a community of research, teaching, and service.

A cheeky Haiku for today.   Anonymous as far as I know.

By way of pretext, I said
“I will go to consider the condition of the bamboo fence . . . ”

But

It was really to see you.

Have a good weekend and fall break.

“Time spent baking bread follows the pace of yeast”
“Motorcycling alone; I move as a  tiny person in a vast world”

“If I pause long enough, I  hear the sound of grass growing,  and trees, each at its own pace.”
