Walking very fast,
Hoping to beat the cold rain,
Run to catch the bus.
These words describe my journey from Norman to my apartment, including the bus ride home. I make this trip so many times that I usually don’t even notice my surroundings, so today was a nice change of pace. It was nice to intentionally look around and take everything in! It had been a long time since I noticed the beauty in a rainy day. My haiku is about the most stressful part of my journey: trying my hardest to beat the rain and make it to the bus on time, which was especially difficult today! But as I was hurrying, I was still able to appreciate my surroundings and the fact that there is beauty and art, even among the stress.
