May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all. Peace, Peace, Peace.
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.

Very nice feeling to this. The second stanza was slightly harder to get through as the rustling suggested something more than peaceful feeling, but as you know I enjoy reading your poetry.
I am so glad you commented, Hamish. “Rustling” was not what I had experienced …it was more a faint flutter, a wave as I passed by the tree chanting as if nature was chanting with me, bowing as I passed. I was not happy with this but posted it anyway in the wee hours of morning rather than wait a day or two. I think I have conveyed my experience better. Again, thank you for taking the time to comment!
Thank you, Kristjaan. Your comment comes at an opportune time…this weekend my thoughts are seriously focused on what I want to do with the rest of my life. Although I have contemplated on counselling for at least another 5 or more years…I am realizing enriching my soul may be a primary option rather than a secondary one.
This is where I share information, motivations, and experiences that have and continue to impact my life. I will endeavor to present my highest and best.
Beautiful. Love this and Simplicity.

What a beautiful troiku Cheryl Lynn. Full of spirituality, but even more full of you and the joy you bring to the world.
