Fascination with Windows

Fascination with Windows - Revisited

It all started quite a while ago, actually when I was a child ....

"Suzy-cotton-socks" my mother would call ... time for me to climb onto the chairs. Sunday was hair-do day, mum would sit me a-top of two chairs (a baby's chair fixed to the top of a dining chair) to put my rags in before bedtime.

My bedroom window looked out over the fields to the hall in the distance, that's where I would spend wondrous moments on the ledge gazing across, it called to me! I assured mother "if I stand on two chairs I'm able to reach Hardwick Hall!

So my enchantment with the hall and windows started!

Haiku my Heart #42 - Shine on

t'was just a sparkle peeping through the blacks and grey it filled my whole eye .... My daughter's car stands motionless on our drive, she is in hospital with severe stress symptoms. It has been a dark week, yesterday I noticed a sparkle reflecting off of her car through my window. She's been rattling up and down the motorway for the last year everyday to the job she loves and is fighting hard to keep. The car had so many rattles, now fixed by my love, it's washed, polished and resting-up waiting for her return. For more haiku poetry Visit Recuerda mi Corazon

On the other hand the year 2012 is said to be an auspicious year, The Chinese Year of the Golden Dragon, taking place only once every 60 years . It also happens to be a leap year so that means the possibility of climbing my same old staircase an extra time this year! The number 300 is significant too this being my 300th post! whilst yesterday the 12th was my blog birthday 2 years! So what do these numbers all amount to? Can I count on them to calculate my life? Or are they just markers of time, as illusory as my shadows? shadows behind me light always falls to the front illuminates now sending to Postcards from Paradise Recuerda mi Corazon BTW this is my 49th Haiku I'm sure this is a significant number! ;~) PS I'm really getting into this numbers thing, apparently 7 is the perfe...
