Blue

Dove wings, rustling greens
deeds penetrate the heavens
a whiff of cool blue





Now comes the quiet
clear blue remnants of Khmer
may souls rest in peace


Question: what's the deal
between green and violet?
True color matters


Blue Monday, Haiku my Heart , Haiku Heights

    I'm in ooh and awe (but aren't I always?) over the flowers you have growing outside. Pink and green: a beautiful match indeed! Love your haiku!

    Dove wings in the cool blue is simply empyrean - beautiful.
    The terror of the Khmer blue scarves, and the deadly quiet are respectfully symbolized here.
    Of course one answer to the "between green and violet" question is Isaac Newton's OCD - the need to make the number of spectral colors come out to a mystical 7 by calling one indigo.
    All of your haiku together round out beauty, outrage, and mysticism - a trio of haiku responses, all well done.

    I love that "whiff of cool blue..." perhaps those spectrums between the heart and third eye is the ability to speak from the heart, as you do here in all colors...

Unknown reasons

What spirit is so empty and blind that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful than the garment with which it is clothed? - Michelangelo  Why is the Mom in this family picture smiling? Oh, I know. The Dad is wearing shoes. Old Photo Album But my mother was also smiling in our family photo. All three of us look about the same age as this family. Mama said she explicitly told Papa that day long ago that we would sit for a family portrait so we were to don something formal. But lo and behold Papa came in flip flops! Mama wasn't very happy about it. She still placed our picture neatly in the family album though. Family is family, slippers or stilettos. What is unknown to me, besides the identity of this family, is how Father (rest in peace, Pap) ended up in the photo studio wearing slippers when he wore shoes virtually all the time. In fact we only saw him wearing slippers during his retirement. Ah well, so much for shoes. I have ...

THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!

Tacloban . It's where I spent two months of great adventure with college buddies at about the same age as the young adult artists in this video  We Are The World for Philippines ( Cover by Filipino Artsts ) This is the church where I served as piano accompanist for the 1990 summer student choir, and some of the services. According to reports it was filled with dead bodies when this shot was taken. Photo Courtesy: AUP Network on FB On Saturday, November 24th, Central World management (the former WTC Bangkok) lent space for a Haiyan fundraiser without charge. I'd like to commemorate the highlights:   One Voice: Help Haiyan Victims was a serendipity. Organizing events is something I had to pay money to study in grad school. But it was live learning right there that night and observing the process was free. Skywatch : Mission Tacloban The Bangkok Charity Orchestra   reflected tranquility in their music. Poor typhoon victims would...
