Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
Welcome at the first episode of the last seven (regular) episodes of this Imagination Without Limits month, July 2018. Next month we will go on a trip around the world to discover the folkmusic of many countries. I think that month will be awesome too. I am already busy with my research for it and I have heard wonderful folkmusic. I hope you all will like that upcoming month as much as I enjoy creating it.
You all will know that renown haiku by Basho:
old pond
a frog jumps
sound of water

Well ... I have found a beautiful image for your inspiration today and I think you will understand my choice of the title "sound of wind", maybe I can give you an idea by creating a new haiku inspired on the one by Basho, but with a slightly difference.
old pond
rippling water
sound of wind

Well ... what do you think? A nice one (how immodest).

| Sound Of Wind |
evening walk
the sound of a wind chime
deep silence
again and again
the wind chime points me the way
to peace .... again

I hope you all will be inspired after the weekend and I am looking forward to your responses on "sound of wind". Have fun!
