It speaks out to me!
eye for an eye
Ah great minds think alike. Good haiku :O)
And I'm the idiot who entered them both separately - with 4 haikus! Clever combination.
Brilliant - No more, no less!
So true if your mind is not healthy your body will struggle.... great haiku this week!
I completely agree there is such a strong connection between taking care of your health and mental and spiritual well-being
It is true that the health of the mind is just as important, if not more so, than the health of the body. I found your link through Jenn's link up.
SO very true - great haiku!
So true .wonderful that you could express this in a haiku
Absolutely beautiful my friend and so true. Love it :) Have a great day :)
wonderful advice and well expressed :-)
Oh my goodness ... who could argue with that?
That is so lovely. I do not know how you do it. Find the flow of words you don't choose. And with so few of them, say so much. Very nice. This is one of my favorites.
I wish I could get my mind to follow the tranquil some days.
An Austrailian haiku. Wish I could hear you read it.
It read great to me. Would love to hear you say tranquility. I bet it sounds nice with an accent. If you are from there, if not, I'm sure you would say it fine with whatever accent you had. lol. Great read.
Nicely done!
You managed all those prompts in three brief lines? Oh, my! That's what I call "packed"!
good one, ! Very intense
Thanks for this, Gemma. You used the prompt words to convey an important message - that mind/body connection, the holistic inside us all. Amy
