Haiku and More

Now, Spring Equinox
Night and Day are equal length
Mother nature's Earth
 
 
Flower dancers twirl,
Bees seeking jasmine nectar
Welcome, lovely Spring!
 
 
In March, on the day of the full moon,
the Hindu people celebrate the
FESTIVAL OF COLORS
to welcome Spring.

They laugh and sing and dance in the street,

throwing colored powder onto each other,
They partake of a drink made from cannabis powder
(no wonder they are so happy!)
 
It would be so fun if we could all have a Festival of Colors to welcome Spring.
 
At my house, we are having our own color festival.
With just one participant.....isn't she just so pretty?
 
 
Ms. Wee
 

 
 
May you be gifted with all the colors of life,
 colors of joy,
 colors of happiness,
colors of friendship,
 colors of love
and all other rainbow colors you want to paint in your life.
                                        ...Hindu wish modified
 
 
HAPPY SPRING!
