There's more movement that the eye can detect at the microscopic and metaphorical level. It's like the duck floating on still water with its feet paddling madly below the ground, out of sight.
they are often left unnoticed. but there are millions of them. nicely done.
I liked the way you told it! Loved the atomic reference..
movement
Great explanatory words there.
Nice quote to go along with the picture, Deb... I also liked the atomic reference.
Hugs,

... if I could see an atom move, a different career would I chose ...
"bowl of emptiness" now that's movement.
Very, very Buddhist. The universe is just so many molecules vibrating.
Yes, oh yes. The way you have illustrated this is perfect for me this week. Thank you.
reminds me of hiking in our area and looking closely at the ground to find very small remnants of ancient native american pots. they tell a story of long ago.
I love the photo and your words, as always!
Ahhh interesting!! totally scientific take on it still life with churning atoms!!
Lovely, lovely, lovely. I am studying a book about the cup as a metaphor for the relationship with the divine. This is perfect.
i love your interpretation of movement! very beyond the surface.. on a molecular level is everything in motion? thought provoking.
The universe is alive at ever level. To know it and move with it!
Excellent - extremely succinct.
Oh yes!
Loved this, Deborah...excellent--
thank you!
Love the still life with atoms...furiously churning!
Are you sure there aren't a few little germs (tiny organisms) mingling in with that still life with (the) atoms?
You can tell I like it.
..
BTW, after you came I put a picture of four old men on a bench with my verse.

This is so wonder-filled! Thank you.
still life with atoms
to be read in so many ways! I love it.
'Still life with atoms'...I loved this. The photograph provides the perfect visual!
The atomic reference is very good.
stunning poem to go with the image!
There is so much movement our eyes cannot see! Wonderful interpretation!
The first line also brings to mind how painfully slow we addressing the needs of those whose bowls are empty everyday.
Excellent
Deborah, I love this one.
A wonderful movement empty! Love it.
the beauty of stillness breathing is unquenchable...
the sacred space inside
I love thus Haiku!

great interpretation of movement
damn, you're good
That is the first thing I thought when I read this. Haiku are wonderful things and this is an absolute pearl.
It takes a masterful haiku for me to sigh "ahhhh! Superb!"
It has just the right mix of imagery, sound, form, and word choice.
That last line is a beaut.
Oh, wonderful--I love it--
"still life with atoms" and the photo is marvelous, too!
Wonderful..you said a mouthful!
I loved that last line. Very clever!
Now... I see how emptiness can be so filling.
That's great. What a stunning image - still life with atoms.
