Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

Dead leaves cling to bough
Silhouettes against pale sky
Tatters of Autumn

Haiku: New Discovery

Bright sun lights the sky
Morning coffee is perking
I’m on the right path

It is clear to see
Haiku tools were just lurking
Can I remember?

Haiku: Miracles Do Happen

Wonders of wonders
A dear fairy godmother
Shared secret with me

With strategic clicks
Classic Editor returned
All’s well with my blog

Looking for answers in WordPress.org I took in the new scope of today’s blog world. Maybe you have already discovered that the mission of WordPress is to help business-focused people develop their creative ideas and attract customers and followers. I applaud their mission. But what about people who love words and writing as an end in themselves? And us who look forward to reading their posts?

I have struggled so to figure out how to manage the new editor. I have spent time chatting with a Happiness Engineer about my problems with only a small result. For me writing and struggling with technology at the same time are an unworkable combination. I would rather live poetry in my experience of things in the present than write with the frustration of technology bearing down on me. And, yes, I am showing my age.
