The beautiful change in the weather energized, motivated, and inspired me to take care of two projects on my list ~ refresh our home for fall and prepare for a haiku workshop I’m teaching this weekend. I didn’t expect the separate to-do items to intermingle, but that they did.
As part of my seasonal cleaning routine, I did some space clearing. Space clearing is the art of removing stagnant, negative energy from a building. It’s not as woo-woo as it sounds. There are many techniques, but it can be as simple as opening all the windows with the intention of releasing stale, heavy air and replacing it with bright, positive energy.
After cleaning, decluttering, and opening all the windows for a couple of hours, our home was absolutely sparkling with clarity and good vibes. I felt a boost of creativity, and planning for my poetry workshop was a breeze.
Here’s a simple haiku I wrote to express the feeling ~
open window day
breeze floats in on angel wings
heart and home renewed
“And the sunsets of autumn – are they not gorgeous beyond description?
More so that the brightest dreams of poetry?

Alicia, although it is autumn there, your haiku blossoms just as fresh and inspiring here, where spring has only just begun. ❤ Noelia

I thought of you and my other friends in the southern hemisphere when writing this. The change to spring and fall are similar in feeling to me…exciting and beautiful. Happy Spring to you, Noelia!

I enjoyed the simplicity and energy in your haiku, Alicia. We had a summer of space clearing and getting rid of clutter from the house. The autumn feels better already. Hope the workshop goes well.
