This Monoku is so creative dear Sara and I love the imagery forming whilst reading it. As you merge into the water, nature and you become one. Water can be so calming and therapeutic and reflective thoughts can flow freely upon the river and become part of the river as it caresses your troubled soul. To me, a reflective read. Loved it. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you xx

Some thoughts are endless like the river that flows so endlessly, and sometimes it stays still and silent like frozen thoughts within our mind too. Saraku, one to ponder on, and dive deep into. And your picture used here goes so well too with your words and thoughts delivered. Pleasure reading your work always. Sending you light

Loved this so much. I feel the same way when I walk into the garden. I have had some wonderful conversations with my tomatoes and flowers.

we must be kindred spirits of sorts, Jerry. I, too, have conversations with our flowers and trees, even with the ones in the old forest near our home...lovely place. Thanks for stopping by and for your delightful comments. Enjoy your day, Sara
