Happy in the morning
I open my cottage door;
A clear breeze blowing
Comes straight in.
The first sun
Lights the leafy trees;
The shadows it casts
Are crystal clear.
Serene,
In accord with my heart,
Everything merges
In one harmony …

Love this.
beautiful and timeless.
Same feelings. Eight centuries later. Amazing.
Is there hope for similar thoughts eight centuries from now?
Sadly, I have my doubts.
I need to be optimistic…I need to…
Been a tough week for optimism. However…you inspire it in us all. Gracias dude.
