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...

Dreaming up a surprise

A lovely week my friends! I give you sunrise from the world's largest religious monument - Angkor Wat and a quiet spot from the chili patches Some days this week were bittersweet. But I'm loving the joys and faves: This goodbye is not forever . Someone dear to me is away for a couple of days. On call for an important politician, he does not know when is he returning to base. Communication to the outside is quite restricted. Then out of the blue he sent word saying he was making use of what internet access was allowed 'along palace perimeter...' and then he was gone. But I'm glad he tried to reach me. Monuments Men . Those art pieces! They took my breath away. The Valley is a friend's short story which he asked me to edit for an alumni newsletter. I was hesitant; warned him I might unwittingly ruin it. My mind went back to that article I wrote 19 years ago. It was too late when I realized how unnecessarily sentimental it sounded; it was already...

Boracay

Boracay is a resort island in the Philippines, administered by the Philippine Tourism Authority and the province where it belongs - Aklan. The island is approximately 196 miles south of Manila. I visited it on a whim in 2013, a year after it was awarded, among several other awards, the best island  in the world by Travel + Leisure, an international travel magazine. "Apart from its white sand beaches, Boracay is also famous for being one of the world's top destinations for relaxation. It is also emerging among the top destinations for tranquility and nightlife."

Anything that takes me out of sight of urbanization, rising concrete (condos) and drab parking spaces - I'm in. What a treat for the country girl in me! Somewhere out there   beneath the pale moonlight... . It's not everyday you get serenaded. I appreciated it. A lot. The Heart Garden, Eating People is Wrong , etc: my loot from Neilson Hays book sale. Knockoff prices, old plus beautiful library architecture - just my kind of awesome. Antiques therapy . My apartment is bursting I could hardly navigate the floor without my feet touching things so I didn't buy a truckload this week. Just the one hat. Thanks to the shining sun I had an ...
