Your ripples will have a wide impact some day. <br />Look already how your words prompt our heartfelt responses.<br />(On a personal note - my daughter enjoyed visiting Romania for a delicious coffee, walking across a bridge over the Danube. She was actually visiting the north Bulgaria grandparents & uncle of her Sofia, Bulgaria-born friend. This is far off the topic of your evocative writing, but I hope everyone indulges me.)<br /><br />pastra scris<br />cu frumesetea<br /><br />(I hope I have said something close to <br />"keep writing with beauty")jan godown anninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091996699597066230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740307479750463845.post-63313152365046249482015-11-21T19:23:13.822-05:002015-11-21T19:23:13.822-05:00Ah, just lovely--both the story of your meeting an...Ah, just lovely--both the story of your meeting and Cristina's haiga. <br /><br />Cristina, I love how you connected the cinnamon of the Mucenici celebration with American Thanksgiving.

Such a story we all need this week - thank you both for sharing this across-the-world connection because of the power of poetry (& art). <br />Cristina, your work is beautiful, moving. Looks like we both got serious about haiku around the same time- five or six years ago. So glad to be introduced to you here. [Your "Christmas alone –" poem on your site made me tear up. The "dirty blackboard" poem, too.] {{blessings}}Robyn Hood Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07279289715664168026noreply@blogger.com
