cool stone arches frame
gentle streams of waterfall….
peace finds the river

  2. The image of cool stone arches framing gentle streams really captures that specific kind of quiet you find when the mind stops racing. I spent a few minutes just looking at the photo, letting the visual rhythm of the water slow my own breathing down. It is a nice reminder that peace often arrives when we stop trying to force the current and just let it flow around the obstacles. The mention of The Stone Roses adds a nice layer of nostalgia to the piece, too. It is rare to find a haiku that feels so grounded in a specific place like the San Antonio Riverwalk while still managing to convey such a universal feeling of calm. Thank you for sharing this moment of stillness with us.
