skyward, she shifts her gaze

B.T.W. will you be visiting Nanka?
If you do, could you tell her I cannot make her comment box work, even though everybody else manages to. Please tell her I like her haiku posts very much.

Thank you Meri for Joco's comment, I greatly appreciate it!!

This image is so beautiful and befits the Haiku!!

Looks like it is the lull before the storm and she stands secure and confident.

The heavenward offering of the balloons must have instilled the confidence in her.

We tend to glorify the "all men are created equal" phrase without looking at the reality. We can do better. We must.
