spring afternoon -
another call from
an unknown bird
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Slowly the birdsong in my garden is getting more and more vivid ... each new arrival is a new joy.
And here is another unknown "bird" that I met today ...
HOKKU

Feeding Birds
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
feeding birds ...
the BIG BULLY chases
the small ones
The sparrow family would flutter around him and
be back in no time to get another seed.

today well lived
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
Lie all the truths and realities of your existence:
The bliss of growth
The glory of action
The splendor of achievement,
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today well lived makes every yesterday
a dream of happiness
And tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation of the dawn.
--from a Sanskrit text

Graduation Day
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Today was Graduation Day of our local grammar school, where we teach the kids about International affairs.
30 students were lined up ... and their parents in rows just beside us.
graduation day -
his hankerchief moves
up and down
The few fathers (it was a normal working day) seemed even more moved than the mothers, especially when the final "Good Bye" song was performed.

Swami Satchidananda
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Any kind of expectation creates a problem.
We should accept, but not expect.
Whatever comes, accept it.
Whatever goes, accept it.
The immediate benefit is
that your mind is always peaceful.
Sri Swami Satchidananda
accept it
as it is -
write haiku about it
