Black flowers Red flowers

I am older
But my heart has not grown cold
Every morning I invent
A theater of flowers in a room
My longing is my wake up call
There is no homeland security
The other is always unexpected
This is what excites me
The other shoe
And the hanging sword
Give me delight
Not all news is bad
Sometimes it is just the shift in the weather
Plants continue to bloom
I still love to take a bath
Fried eggs amaze me as they transform
Old flames are with me always
Yet nothing overshadows this moment
I am so excited that I forget my own name
The best way to learn new tricks is to share the ones you know
A message is carved into a green staff
When plunged into the ground it begins to sprout
There is always time for music
And also
I thank you in advance.

Hello

Dear Michael:

I took a look at Turtle Salon finaly.

I am going to tell you something interesting: Japanese fairy tale about Turtle..

Long time ago, there was a boy whose name is Urashima Taro. He was living near the shore, found rascals touching turtles on shre violently. Taro went to save the Turtle to get rid of rascals from him. This turtle said, "Thank you so much. You saved my life. Why don't you ride on my back, I will take you to the Ocean Palace in the sea. " Taro was led to this Ocean Palace by this turtle. He was well invited with being served the best of food, drinks, dancers. When he wanted to go back, the princess of the Sea Palace gave him a box, called "Tamatebako", saying to him, "Never open this if it is necessary". The turtle sent Taro back to the Ocean shore. Taro was surprized to see the different landscape, trying to find back home. But he could not find it. He was feeling so troubled, and did not remember what was told about this box of gift. He decided to open the box The smog came out from the box magicaly. He went to the well to try to drink water. He found himself at the surface of water, an old man looking at himself.

Japanese children heard this story when we grow up. Turtle represents a long life with wisdom. They live like hundreds of years like Crain (a bird) with wisdom.

It was a lesson for Taro : not induldge himself with Pleasure so much, and should have kept the promise by the princess of Ocean world...

!

much love,
Hisami

Dear all,

I would like to wish all of you a Happy New Year. May the coming year be filled with laughter, joy and happiness.

I finally managed to update the website at least for the fall trip, I still owe spring updates. They will come! This year has been jam packed and eventful, which is always a good thing - if only the hours per day would increase with the intensity of happenings!

Thank you for your continuing support, the kids are making progress according to their own personal velocity! Baaskaa is an independent adult now and happy as a clam! It is now Vannie’s and Nasa turn to find their paths.

Your interest and support have been my driving engines that keep me going! Thanks for it all!

Happy New Year!

Martina
