My parents had a home in the country. It was in a narrow valley that had a stream running through it, and fog at sunrise was a common autumn occurrence. When visiting my parents, I enjoyed morning walks with my father on those foggy days, in spite of the cool air.

The misty fog adds to the past or mysticism of these memories and the bacon and eggs brings it right back into the present or reality. Really touching.

A nice haibun Ken full of wonderful memories, but also full of mystery and it gives me a kind of mystical feeling, maybe that’s because of the mist.

It can be like a mystery with no real surprises – unless, of course, a deer appears out of nowhere, which did happen across the stream from us, on one walk.
