. Akena Okinawa A woman in a rice paddy Wishes me good day In Japanese No angel Coming out of the sky Lightning bolt burning bush Water turning into wine Just a woman I never saw again Was she young or old I do not know Life is hard for farmers in those fields In the hot sun Dirty water up to her knees A woman looked up And wished me good day And life changed . |

A very familiar view, well remembered. Some day, maybe sweet wine. Enjoyed. JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

I liked this very much. Reminds me of the dominoes of Fate... a feather falling in part of the world ending up a hurricane in another and such. We truly never know just how much impact one kind gesture can bring individually, or to the masses. Well done. Michael |
