The tankatuesday challenge this week is to write a tanka based on the words “humdrum” and “mindless” without using those words.
I always try to catch myself when I allow this miraculous existence to become dull. It’s easy to coast through life without appreciation. Today’s sunrise was another glorious reminder.
It's the sun again
Same old fireball rising
Boring miracle.
Wait! That's not like me at all
I crave its light and its heat.

A boring miracle! Somedays, as the sunsets, I like to wonder how I would feel if it failed to rise again…
Well done!

Oh, yeah, Boz. So ordinary we might forget how extraordinary it is. How grateful to be here for the never boring show. Thanks for sharing.
Hey, and I happened to see the bear that visited your yard. OMG–that’s extraordinary in itself. Thanks so much for sharing that on instagram. Amazing.
Thanks for participating this week. Sending blessings.
