Thank you so much Brian. I have learned to love writing haiku with the "twist" at the end. For one like me, with the loquacious gene, saying something with impact in seventeen syllables has been a great, if not sometimes challenging, experience. Hope you are well. Sending you blessings.

Thank you! You are so right. Sleep is such a healing gift! Here's to a good night's sleep and its blessings of renewal and refreshment!

I'm so glad you enjoyed this haiku Laura. Have had several nighs of tossing and turning over the past year. I feel for your struggle for sleep. If I wake up in the middle of the night, will send a prayer your way. Sending you blessings!

Thank you so much Eve. This one woke me up one night! Must have been that insomoniac moon! Fortunately I went right back to sleep. Sending you blessings for sweet dreams!

Hi Heidi! Thank you so much :) Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and think that the full moon must be an insomniac like so many people who are up all night - especially those suffering in this continued chaos. Hope you are well. Sending you blessings for a good night's sleep!
