Reflections, Jan. 5

Well, here we go with day two of this project. Some late-night photography, and an extended haiku, this time, to accompany it. Humor me.

The back of the sign
Has no meaning; the symbol
Without words — the shape.

So it is with life.
We infer, guess and reckon
As we long for more.

Stop in the name of … what?
Nothing. Just stop. And stay stopped.
Only then can you ask.

No stop signs, no labels;
Road signs for life are inside,
In intuition.

It is yours alone,
Innermost private ideas
Half-conscious mind-stuff.

It may just be right.
Though alienated;
Take the risk and trust.
