healing power

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::



early morning -
the healing power
of birdsong


Morgenfrühe -
die heilende Kraft
des Gesangs der Vögel




I am not sure about the plural form in English.
It is meant to mean the many different songs of many different birds.
Quite a concert this morning !

And the cicadas out in the background, the odd frog once in a while, the heron family on its way to "work" in the ricefields to the East, putting in a word from high above.

saszuri, 囀, さえずり zwitschern, the twittering and chirping of small birds, is a kigo for spring.

Next morning I overslept, which is a good sign ...


early morning snooze -
the healing birds
sing anyway




and later


Kneipp morning -
the healing power
of cold well water



Our own well water is rather cold, even in the hottest summer!

I love both the versions GABI!
to me the 2nd is a wee bit more powerful . . .

I think bird without 's' should suffice ????

Just beautiful GABI.

Oh Gabi, I didn't know about your health...
I send warm thoughts for healing, and this is beautiful!

This is beautiful.
It has a certain lilt to it. Almost a 'mantra' feel. ;-)
Healing vibes from here to there, Gabi . . .

This is the one, Gabi. I think it must be working.
Take care,

Hi Gabi,
I'm impressed with your knowledge of English grammar as "birds' songs" is correct below.
Congratulations!

early morning -
the healing power
of the birds' songs

I wish I could have been there to hear the concert with you.

Cheers from a friend,
