With the start of the New Year (because we're past the winter solstice), I'm thinking more about specific things I can do to create a more sustainable, collaborative community in my town of 10,000 people. Hence my hay(na)ku for the day.

vibrant quilts
opinions options solutions

in my
mindful meditative state,

disregarding the noise
surrounding me
always
