It's beautiful. Thanks Keiko for the extra note. Kudo to your creative mind!
Thanks Keiko, a lovely poem, deep and thoughtful.
from Keiko
“I regularly visit my chiropractor, and one day I noticed this cactus at the entrance had a perfect symmetry. I glanced at it with some envy because my vertebra is somewhat deformed, and needless to say his job is easing/curing pain caused by such deformation of body parts. So the symmetry also amused me with the ideal form of chiropractors when explored. At the same time the perfect symmetry of this cactus brought to my mind some unexplainable calmness and peace at the day’s end…"
Thank you!
Certainly resonates with me as recently having to spend time at the chiropractor - hopefully my symmetry will be restored like the cactus
Good one, Keiko! Most beautifully worded.
I appreciate the note to the readers. We are encouraged to spend time with a poem to discover what resonates with us. ❤️
