This amazing photo, Karuna took at LivingLearningandLettinggo inspired me.
pure essence
whimsical petals whisper
dark shadows begone!

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com View all posts by Tournesol

Thank you, I’m so glad it’s okay…sometimes I see a photo and don’t always have it to share what inspired my words. You take some lovely photos, Karuna!! and thank you for allowing me to show it on my blog.

I love seeing it there. I purposely left my phone/camera home today but once I saw this tree I knew I had to go back and get a picture. I’m sure glad I did.

Don’t tempt me!! I think if I had followed my original plan in 1997 to move after a few years to Vancouver…would be close to Seattle!
