What have you been putting off doing? Why?
Answering this prompt, apparently. It’s been around several times now – I think.
Why? No good answer came to mind, before now.

blooms bright & intricate,
but never delicate.

“A Bird, came down the Walk” (359) by Emily Dickinson [w/ Audio]
A Bird, came down the Walk --
He did not know I saw --
He bit an Angle Worm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw,
And then, he drank a Dew
From a convenient Grass--
And then hopped sidewise to the Wall
To let a Beetle pass --
He glanced with rapid eyes,
That hurried all abroad --
They looked like frightened Beads, I thought,
He stirred his Velvet Head. --
Like one in danger, Cautious,
I offered him a Crumb,
And he unrolled his feathers,
And rowed him softer Home --
Than Oars divide the Ocean,
Too silver for a seam,
Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon,
Leap, plashless as they swim.

the heron stares at
the unwitting egret’s back:
unfond of flatmate?

“The Pond” by Amy Lowell [w/ Audio]
Cold, wet leaves
Floating on moss-coloured water
And the croaking of frogs --
Cracked bell-notes in the twilight.

PROMPT: Attention
What details of your life could you pay more attention to?
When I chop carrots, I should chop carrots; when I walk in the park, I should walk in the park; when I poop, I should poop.

PROMPT: Hard Work
In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled?
Presuming there is a product or productive outcome, therein lies the fulfillment.
If the work is Sisyphean, it chafes my preference for wu wei.
