Journal: Chinese Whanau -------------------------------------------
Mood: The Usual
The word "whanau" is well-known to all New Zealanders. It is a Maori word meaning "extended family'. I am trying to develop empathy with my Chinese whanau. My daughter-in-law is from Hong Kong.
Sorry for my delayed response -- I have finally made it back to Louisiana, though New Orleans, no. I am procrastinating, but it means that I get to see parts of the state I am not too familiar with.
Anyway, thank you for the comment. I always love hearing from you. You're one of the few that I know will say it how it is and not throw praise around. Sometimes I wonder if I'm took sickeningly love sick for the rest of the writing world, but I can't help it.
Also, thanks for leaving the poem on my page. For some reason I picture you have endless poems up your sleeves.
How are things progressing with your Chinese whanau?
Thanks for your comment on 'Cormorant Song, Pt I-VI'!
And no, I've not heard a cormorant sing, but I'm sure I'd find it very beautiful. Honestly, I love birds so much that those kinds of sounds really don't bother me. I have unconditional love for any feathered, winged creature (and also for some non-feathered winged creatures too).
