So High

higher than a skylark
resting in the sky 
on a mountain pass --Matsuo Basho


Ah, that pretty much sums up what i felt Friday night . I cannot remember the last time i felt so happy and alive. Perhaps at last i have regained my "muchness" and more!.


Of course, what a cliche: girl meets boy, gets socks blasted off faster than a rocket. Granted, it may be one-sided, but i am not complaining. 


Sadly, it may not proceed anywhere because of geographic logistics issues. They really don't make them like that in Australia. I may have to move to the U.K, where i may not even secure my target!. However, i give everything a good try and this bloke is amazing. 


I have no plans to date anyone else after this, because how can you top it?.


*addendum: Sadly, good buddy J has pointed out to me there is no chance a man will go to the other side of the world to see a girl. After spending last night crying (the truth does hurt) , i was surprised to get an email. I hope J and i will be proven wrong. It was nice to be happy again, i would love to be happy at least once more**

The Haiku Poems of Matsu Basho

The Haiku Poems of Matsu Basho

I love Basho. There's elegance in the sparse verse .

Kochira muke
Ware mo sabishiki
Aki no kure
Will you turn toward me?
I am lonely too,
This autumn evening.
