Dear haijin, visitors and travelers,
A miracle has happened today (1/9) ... I received a phone-call form the hospital. My mom doesn't need heart surgery they gonna 'dotter' her. I don't know the English translation of 'dotteren', but I believe they are gonna place stents in the heart veins to let flow the blood again. Later on today we will be at the hospital and than the cardiologist and surgeon are giving us the information on this 'event'.
OK ... let's go to our prompt for today 'whale' a wonderful creature which is still in danger because of the whale-hunt.
These wonderful creatures are a joy to look and listen at ... this mammal is one of the oldest animals on earth ... we have to cherish that and learn from it. Whales are very wise mammals and they can sing wonderful.
song of the whale
resonates in my heart
an old spirit
an old spirit
travelling around the world
wise man whale
This prompt will stay on 'til January 11th 11.59 AM (CET) and I will post our next Carpe Diem Special, a haiku by Shiki, later on today around 10.00 PM (CET). I haven't chosen a haiku already so that will be a kind of surprise. Sorry ...
