Notes

New day, new haiku!

Feeling slightly better but I'm making sure I dont overdue it.

Hard to believe that this poem marks my 960th poem too! Just wow!

Now for the last of the young Charites, children of Hephaestus and Aglaia [aka Kharis, one of the three Charites].

This is Philophrosyne, Goddess of Welcome, Friendliness and Kindness.

Again, not much on her but I see her as someone who also possesses childlike qualities, just wanting to see the best in everyone and everything. Making friends all over the world, and she treasures them deeply. This is based on some people I know in my day to day life.

Despite how cruel the world is, I still believe in the power of kindness...but I've learned to be cautious with it, as when people see kindness they may take advantage. Ive learnt this the hard way and I think I've gotten better at establishing boundaries with said kindness too.

Be kind but also dont be afraid to set boundaries. Welcome people from all over the world as you have friends you have yet to meet!

Anyway, thank you all for growing followers, I'm forever humbled and grateful for the support 🙏🌹💜

Here's the link for the growing collection:

Be back tomorrow with another one!

Much love,

Lyn 💜
