Dedicated to Antoinette (Nettie) van Leuween Dearest friend who continues to live in Spirit and in my heart.
"I have bloomed before in the garden of life, Even as now! You, and all these royal ones - here once more! - Blossomed fragrantly in lives gone. All barren trees of future lives We may choose to adorn anew With buds of our reincarnated souls! Erstwhile did we abide in formless form In Spirit's everlastingness, And thither do we wend again!"
~ Baghavad Gita

Rasa of this Raag "....with a fair erect body like the white lotus, and delicate like gleaming dew drops, Todi holds the veena and provides fun and frolic to the ghazelles and deer in the green forest."
Soaring on an Overtone
Sharifah C. Rosso
Inner ear listens to rustlings of quiet stepping breeze,
Speaking to lighted ochre shadowed green leaves,
Watching minuscule Spring drop gently separating,
Dripping, dropping, descending....
Graciously rescinding to absorb itself,
Following path of singularly bladed grass,
Shimmering within its new transparent sheath,
Listening to solitary prayer of sole softly feathered soprano,
Flighting its sacred call for aged oaks and youthful antelopes,
