The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows | John Koenig

Today‘s word is trumspringa: the longing to wander off your career track in pursuit of a simple life — tending a small farm in a forest clearing, keeping a lighthouse on a secluded atoll, or becoming a shepherd in the mountains — which is just the kind of hypnotic diversion that allows your thoughts to make a break for it & wander back to their cubicles in the city.

Oh would that I could
stash myself away in a
cottage full of books.

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

I‘ve gotten in the habit of falling asleep to Pride and Prejudice 2005 on Netflix & it leaves at the end of June so that‘s today‘s haiku.

Netflix, addlepates!
P&P 05 leaves soon
What shall soothe my sleep?

Roary47 I still haven‘t read it, but watched it in my fourth grade class for our book-movie Fridays. My teacher (my Dad) was really awesome in ensuring a type of literacy even if many of my class wasn‘t readers. I‘m too scared for all that raw emotion. 😭 (edited) 3h

Today‘s word is chrysalism.

Chrysalism: the amniotic tranquility of being indoors during a thunderstorm.

Mesmerized by each
drop, warmth steals over me as
the storm rages on.
