Posted by magicalmysticalteacher
While you are seeking,
ponder the ways of water,
then take up your flute.

Thanks for sharing your blue.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Blue Monday!
love the joy in this!
“then take up your flute”? Oh, I love that! Your last line was a surprising one and left an impression.
I agree with Olive Tree’s comment

My Third Eye

Lindas imagens refletidas na água!
Beautiful reflections and lovely colours. Well taken!
What a beautiful reflection! And the haiku is so peaceful, too!!
What a pretty shot…and a really nice reflection. Your haiku is wonderful. Well, I am giving the haiku a try, but I have a ling ways to go before I feel secure. I guess everyone has to begin somewhere no matter old that person is. Have a nice Turkey Day. genie
Water come to me,
flow over my aging toes,
bring your soothing touch.
I love this photo….great job…
I very much like the haiku… meditation and flute music pair so well. And such a peaceful reflection photo.
Very enigmatic.
I took up my trombone.
Check it out here, if you’re so inclined.
