Thanks for looking in on me, Joe. I especially like this one. It goes along with my latest post. With eyes closed is most often a good guide. Love, daver

I close my eyes to the things of the world that are abrasive to my spirit and draw closer to God...This is such a thot-provoking senryu, friend! Your wisdom shines thru! All the best to you this Sunday! gwendolen

I try to close my eyes too; so much that's hard to look at, I get renewed away from crowds of people. Nice one Joe, a profound meaning in this! Love, Lizzie
