I love the last mysterious line of your haiku, thanks!

I know I will always find something NEW and DELIGHTFUL, or something that will make me see the world in a whole new way. True again today! I love the haiku, the story behind the haiku, and the photographs! Magical! CAWCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.com
