Exceptional Daily 5-7-5 simplicities for April Na-Po-Wri-Mo A Window On My World : Missing Momentum by LisaMay

• Idling in neutral, I cannot get into gear. Speed Queen stops at home. • Here, spinning my wheels, life’s highway is passing by. I am stalled, can’t roam. • I watch ducks fly past. Walking does not fit the bill; I am going quackers. • I walk to the park, to go somewhere, anywhere; feeding hungry ducks. • This is food for thought: when starved of travel myself, I can fuel their flight. • Along thoughtful paths, memory’s meanderings take me far away. •     Recognized Author Notes Author's Note: (Photo is LisaMay on her Yamaha XJR 1200. My other motorbike is a Kawasaki KLR 650.) I love driving and motorcycling; the pleasure of going somewhere, seeing new places. I enjoy revisiting favourite, familiar ones, but seeing the same things every day within walking distance of my home is emphasising how much I want to go somewhere else. Luckily, I have a good imagination, a good memory, and plenty of photographs of my previous travels with which to entertain myself - and I like being around ducks at the local park. Feeding the ducks is a metaphor for helping others when we are able to. (For instance, recently our Art Society was helped by a useful bequest from a deceased member's estate. Our galleries are closed due to the pandemic, with no income for our artists or the society. Our departed member wasn't going to be painting any more, but her generous gift kept her connected in helping the society.) How, personally, will we be able to support and help others in our new future, when so many will need assistance?
