Alive when taken ~
Speaks of the flowers

Although the breath ~
Has forever faded
Their imprint remains.
To be admired
A balm indeed
for a beggared soul.

I adore snowflakes.
They tumble down,
slipping into the crevices
of my collar and pant legs,
to be shaken or stomped out
of hiding, as I enter the warmth
of home.
Perhaps they are so lonely or blue
that they are willing to melt away
on the mat before they achieve
the acceptance they seek.
The dog delightedly laps up their essence
from the parquet floor.

Entering Time, Endless. January 12 2014
I grasp in my hands
For a pithy time,
The essence of eternal bliss.
The question comes,
I rue the night,
How can I not exist?

I wring my hands
Bewitched.

All other regrets
Eclipse?
I clasp my hands, I meditate
On entering time,
Endless.

In Celebration of 80. January 10, 2014

on her shoulders, I still remember
my mother’s girlish smile,
the softness of her hands as they washed away
the grime of my well -worn day.
Happy 80th Birthday Mom.
Music Video Challenge Day 5: A Song That is Often Stuck in Your Head
I hear this song everywhere. No complaints. I love this song. My friend made a “Happy Music for Holley” CD about fifteen years ago. I listen to it all of the time. It’s one of the few things that I still have from fifteen years ago.

Modern Day Slavery in Brick Kilns in India
.
.
A century ago only 10% of India’s population lived in urban areas and now expected to increase to 40% by 2030.
The outcome of India’s economic growth has transformed small trading towns into bustling business centres with multinational enterprises, setting up factories, call centres, software development units, etc., eager to capitalize on high skill labour at low pay.
This stupendous metropolitan and rural boom need factories, offices, apartments, shopping malls, etc., constructed with bricks made of clay burnt in a kiln, as one of the needed primary building material. Bricks are used as filler materials for framework structures as well as to build load bearing structures.
Making the Brick
The process of making a brick has not changed over the centuries or across geographies. Traditionally the main steps followed to make a brick are:

I long to sing of summer
And the brilliance new growth brings
I wish to walk the mossy paths…
Hear bubbly brooks of spring.
I dream of languid evenings
Of cozy drumming rain
Instead, I close my book, fight on my boots
And shovel the driveway again.
