Welcome to Monday WRites # 354
June, and the rains are here. A Happy month of June to all.
You've heard about the Monday Blues ❧✿❧well this is Monday WRites (musing on the definition here of rite, as any customary observance for eg the rite of afternoon tea).
If you have a Monday post at your blog you can share at the linky. There is no prompt. All that's required is that your post is a Monday post
AND
Rainy season; there is the thunder. the lightning. the flooding. The overcast clouds eventually give way to brighter skies.
Some mornings a red sky will morph into grey into mild blue. Activity never ceasing always wonderous. Who can control the weather.
rainbow fading -
awesome enough to make me
stand still and watch

Lovely Haibun Gilena. I'm sorry my comments are not more frequent on your blog. I have trouble with commenting on Blogspot unless I am on my laptop. Can't seem to get it to work with an iPad π― I can assure you that I do stop by more than you think ☺️π

Dear Gillena, I particularly like the quote from Paulo Coelho and it goes very well with your boat collage - and it also goes well with us humans. We too can live a safe life in our homes, but I think it is the company with other people that is our destiny and purpose.
ReplyDeleteAll the best from Austria!
