Ah, I just came by and saw this gem. I should have had a cup of tea on Tuesday with you. I was looking for lightness too! I never made it to sharing a slice of life. I love your haiku.
I've been privileged to live in three of the world's great cities (Nairobi, Port-au-Prince and Asunción, Paraguay) as well as spending time in many others (including nine weeks in Paris as a college student). I just moved to a new city: Kampala, Uganda. I've also lived in smaller towns in three countries. In all of those places there have been difficult days, but I've never found a city or town yet where God is not, and I don't anticipate finding one in the future, either. The name of my blog comes from the song "Love is Always There," by Carolyn Arends.

A short, sweet, pure infusion, Ruth - your haiku is just what is needed this morning! Seeking lightness - oh yes.
There is such beauty in simplicity. This feeling of lightness I will carry with me throughout my day. Thank you for this feathered feel!
I like your line, “seeking lightness” is perfect, especially with your “feathered mug”. Thank you for sharing your poem.
Guess it was a day for haikus! Love that you have a feathered mug to accompany your search for lightness. Reminds me of Fran’s Carolina wren.
There's so much wonderful about this - the calming tea, the comforting mug, the joy of taking the time in the drinking and the writing. Thank you!
