Just a reminder that I'm writing a haiku everyday this month in honor of National Poetry Month (and, frankly, as a survival skill) and you are so welcome to join me. Here's today, with a little context first:

I am not a believer in burying feelings, but I am a fan of re-framing. I mean, look. There’s no way around the fact that this is a colossal and traumatic thing we’re navigating right now. We can’t imagine that away.

But sometimes (like, approximately 100 times per day) (whatever a day is), I’m finding the need to re-set my expectations, articulate something in a new way, look at a situation differently.

Thus this poem, right?

Haiku 3

This thing we’re doing,
scary and isolating?
Let’s call it nesting.
