I love the opposing language that really makes this an insightful piece for me!! The idea that getting lost in thought doesn't have to be a negative experience is tantalizing!!
Ponder provoking! Well done, Paul!
They sure do! Like the fluidity here of the spectrum.
Loved your Senryu! And yesss, a pillar post would be awesomeeee!
Well-penned, sir!
Like the comparison of thoughts to a stream
This is beautifully said. Well done, buddy.
What great advice for all avenues. Good work.
Just beautiful, pal! Lots of depth to this one, and just flat out gorgeous! 🩷✨
Great image that also echoes the ups and downs of life.
