Hooray! :)

So happy it made you smile and seeing your new pic (love it!) what a gorgeous smile it is! :) I wrote this one after flicking through an anthology of Zen poetry at my yoga teacher's house, he's a fan of Haikus and you know I like to play with different forms! He's such an inspiring guy, he's 70 Anni, seeing him do a head stand warms my heart and i'll be eternally grateful to him for the gift he has given me, I've been heard to say on more than one occaision that yoga 'saved' my life! :) so this one was for him really and Haiku perfect poetry for texting! much love b xx

Oh, & what a great idea, Haiku texting!

Oh I can really understand that about the yoga, I remember when I went to my fave yoga teacher for the first time, it felt so good finding the perfect teacher, I just wanted to cry, it was like coming home... & now she has left town & no-one does yoga at a time I can go, I miss it terribly. Always incorporate a little into warm ups for my choir & my singing students though. Did I say how much I love your new pic? Oh, & what a great idea, Haiku texting! Guess I've texted shortish poems when I was going out with a poet once, I miss that a lot, probably the thing I miss the most with him. Oh I just realised I didn't post the poem inspired by thinking about your experiences, it's pretty sad, fell asleep would have to wait til after 4am I think, will do it now, it's pretty sad though.
