soft power


something approaches
soft pink light is sliding
on the horizon

canyons out of rock
dissolve instead of slashing
water always wins

purrs against my leg
gets the kitty a good skritch
sooner than biting

Love the soft power of the sets, Janet :)

Like it when power when is soft -- wind, water or people :)

they say if you don't bend you break, eh Devika? another form of soft power is flexibility.

Yes Janet, that was one of my first lessons fron nature.....when i compared a blade of grass and the huge stubborn trees.....in a storm :)

then later in a children's book i found such a story :-)

Ah, this thing called man:
So highly predictable –
Like a Soft Machine.

mechanized and soft
that's how things fit together
cushioning life's blows

Sing, (sing more) softly,
A samurai lives next door,
(Don't you know,) cuckoo!?
