Haibun: Braiding Stories
Originally posted on Magical Mystical Teacher: Among the flowers and grasses, tiny yellow-and-brown things with wings land and take off, take off and land. Should I be worried that I do not know their names? I lift one of the things from a flower stained with its excrement—so small to have made such a big…
