Monday Haiku #35

Cloaked in Night’s maelstrom,
Prosodies invade your soul,
Urging on self-truths.

Yogyakarta was great. I saw the sights I missed the first time around, ate some good food, drank some beer (but not too much). I also went to a Christian wedding. I wish I would have taken some pictures or The Last Supper mural painted in the church; it had a very Indonesian flavor to it with the apostles sitting on the floor in a traditional Javanese fashion. Below is a picture of the bride and groom in their traditional wedding garb.

The second half of the semester is starting and I’m grading up midterms. It’s disconcerting to see so many papers piled on my desk. And then I’m off to Jakarta and Medan next week for workshops. I’m in the process of tentative planning for a vacation to Laos, Cambodia, Viet Nam and Thailand after my fellowship. So many things going on…

    Hey Eleanor,

    No, I’m not married; I just went to wedding. There’s a slight difference;) I’m not sure if I’ll be getting back to Manado soon. Cheers.
