Lucky Charms



why would you ask for bamboo and tea leaves
if you have lucky charms each morning for breakfast

a change of taste ignites the palette
a change of environment the soul
the wind blows north to south today
a change of heart postures its own direction....

  2. A wonderful poem. Change is inevitable, whether we choose the change or change chooses us. The last line is magical.

  3. yes, change is how we continue to grow and learn and the alternative is to stagnate and die. Let's embrace change!

  7. I love this one so much! Love the bamboo and tea leaves......and the wisdom in "a change of environment [igniting] the soul". Wonderfully wise.

    I love the romantic ideas made possible with the words of the last line.
    Just wonderful!
    I really like the New Blog set-up. Very fresh indeed.

  12. Simple, tight, and so true. Change is the essence of life--without it we shrivel and die.
    I must ask: what is the object in the photo?
