waterfall – Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey

Tanka: Two as One

Cairngorms National Park

water cascading down a mountain stream over large stones

living water
touching the stones
two as one
our hearts meet in a dream
the present will follow

two whippets in winter jackets and snoods bending down together to sniff something on top of the mountain

With love from Eivor, Pearl and Xenia xxx
