  1. I love those kinds of morning, whether it's New Delhi (Mehruli District); Malibu; where I live now in Bradford on Avon. ;-)

    Another gorgeous haiku from you!

  2. Kala,

    What a wonderful message from the world–sunlight–
    slipping under the door like a love note.
    A sharp and delicate observation.

    –Peter

  3. Maha thanks to everyone, for taking time off to send these lovely responses.
    In Hinduism, the sun is a God – Aditya.
    We worship him and it's so true how precious the sun is to all of us.

    To the land of the rising sun — who gave us this art form
    I salute & wish you the very best.

  4. Any door
    any morning
    anywhere

    So many times I have experienced this, hopefully. Beautiful, Kala. You're still my favorite. judith ingram
