Happy Monday morning!  To start the work week off on a peaceful and serene note,
here is a lovely haiku from one of Japan's leading haiku poets, Kobayashi Issa (whose name,
aptly enough, means a cup of tea!):

From the bough

floating down the river,

insect song.

Have a peaceful and serene day, and I'll see you tomorrow!
