Final letter, final word and none could suit better than ZEN.

I have reached a very interesting level, so many followers, so many ideas, some great posts (thank you all for the comments and support). This has been indeed a wonderful challenge, I have made it, 26 letters, 26 days, 26 posts. WOW!



To finish with one Zen poem from Basho

On the white poppy,
a butterfly’s torn wing
is a keepsake

Thank you!

Wow indeed! It's over, and didn't you do well. I'm so glad you enjoyed the experience. Perhaps I might get involved if they have another similar challenge!

Claudia, Great idea, thesealphabet prompts. Thank you for your comment on my blog. My first husband's grandparents were from a Musbach??? Germany near the Rhine.

@This - I am sure there will be something as challenging! If you find it let me know and I will do the same :)
@Desiree - thank you, I love the poem, it is so spring related! I am much better, sadly hubby reached another low point. Well, life goes on!
@Linda - Musbach is not so close, we are near Frankfurt am Main. But still Germany :)

Congratulations for finishing the challenge! And good for you for taking me up on my challenge for May.

I'm not going to be doing the May challenge with all four blogs, but rather use it to get my local blog going (which I started some time ago and severely neglected).

Here we go!

Congrats on finishing the challenge. I did a different one awhile back and it was not easy but it was definitely worth it.

Claudia, it's hard to believe we are now done with this challenge.

I am extremely delighted to have made your acquaintance because of it.

I am a fan of all things Zen, as a practicing Buddhist it is the driving force in all I do - I am always evolving and always learning - and so the journey will continue.

You are on my "reading list" so I am sure we will continue our visits.

Congratulations on completing this challenge.

Happy Thoughts,
Jenny

Claudia, what May Challenge did you mean in your comment on Laura's blog post for Z?

Just curious.

I love this photo of a zen garden. Beautiful! I made a little one in my back yeard once, but the grandkids and dogs had other ideas for it.
Congrats to both of us for finishing the challenge.

Motto

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
