"the suggestion

of a sunrise behind the

broken blinds of the old sky."

Ooh yes! Love how mindful this is, paying attention to life in the moment. Thank you for the reminder to slow down.

Gongoozling . Picture perfect walking along a canal word , fishing for breakfast with a flighty bird. Pix and poem captures your imagination to return home to wrestle with coffee pod . Wait for food for thought sake.
