I love this. And your haiku is a touch point, like this Uluru, a portal into the sacred... an awakening in the dreamtime... blessed new year to you ruby red gypsy writer... XO
Thank you, Dawn. The Aboriginal people of Australia have been an interest of mine since I was 10 years old in the 4th grade. They struggle with land rights and racism as so many other indigenous peoples do. It's heartbreaking to me.
dear all, i started early friday with such a bright hope for the day. so many haiku to visit, so many bright promises to fulfill. my day turned quickly on its heels into what became a living hell. for the last three weeks i have been battling extreme health concerns, i share this only to explain why i have been so hard pressed in visiting and leaving comments. yesterday took me to the very edge and this morning although i made it through an adverse med reaction with horrible vertigo, i am weak and undone. i do not like to write about my health issues, something i combat everyday to stay upright and among the living. but i see more and more of our haiku family dwindling away and i am sure many may have mistaken why, and taken it personally that i have failed to visit. this morning i am going to stay up long enough to be sure you all know that you have brought me comfort in my darkest hours without even knowing. for your kindness and patience i thank you with all my heart.
Oh, Rebecca - I am so sorry to hear about your health situation and hope that it improves rapidly.
I don't think the Haiku my Heart folks are dwindling - these holidays allow less time to be on the computer, I think. And we know that you're also planning for another trip to Mexico, something that takes up much of your time.
Be at peace about not being 150% available to those who read your blog - we're adults who understand the complexities of Life on our lovely Earth.
Do take care of yourself - let us know if there is anything we can do.
May the New Year bring you - and all of us - radiant health, deep peace and a rousing sense of humor!
So beautiful...Happy New Year!

Your haiku is so complete. The image reflects the mystery of Uluru, the privateness of walkabout encounters, and the mystical dreamtime.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that, Annie...many times when I scribble down a haiku, I have no idea what it means. I appreciate your insight on it!
DeleteHappy New Year!!
