Unrelenting

An assignment. Then two, then many: The “to do” list grows, a field of weeds in bloom.

The hours available to meet such responsibilities dwindle before their demand. I plunge foward through the maelstrom, only to be born away.

The refrain of a familiar Billy Joel song ever playing in my head…

crysalis

the striving against

that first crack

I’m hosting Haibun Monday over at dVerse, where we write about pressure.
