We should humble UP
as we flow downstream - this life
is NOT a just a dream!!

Does anyone remember this song?
"Row, row, row your boat,
gently down the stream,
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
life is [not] but a dream."

Lady Michaella -
This is great
Life is a Stream which has to flow
I must say this is a great Haiku.

This makes me think
of three things I learnt this week:
- walk humbly
- in loving-kindness
- and justly
Good luck in the competition.

Poet Muse by name and Poet Muse by nature, nothing you do seems to fall short of perfection, and this just takes the biscuit. Such a short piece but it says so much. 'Humble up', astonishing thought, but something we all could learn from, well done indeed.

Love the expression! Very wise words Cyn (and Beth).

-
Thanks!!
I love it, too - I just learned it when Beth posted her comment on Facebook. Wow, that blew me away (which doesn't take much these days).
Take care,
xx Cyn xx

wow that's different in a six-legged star fish sorta way.
awesome. w00t!

Six-legged starfish?!!?
OK, whatever you say. I'll bet sea creatures really have to work at humbling up - they live very deep in their own world, don't they? 
Thanks again,
xx Cyn xx
