I Quote, You 'Ku - Day 16

"I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding."

 ~John O'Donohue

Your challenge is to write a haiku or tanka (or choose one of your previously published works) that has a connection with the themes/feelings/images of the above quote, without just restating what has appeared in the text, to create a haibun. Play around with it and see what you come up with. Enjoy!

    slices of a summer night
    —the thrill
    of not knowing

    flow of river--
    I gather wisdom
    at every turn

    to live how a river does
    firstly, remove decisions
    and then close your eyes

    July 16: river

    the river flows north
    before turning
    back where it started
