Higher education can be getting from only universities. Every university should have good faculty. Now in this age there are thousands of universities in the world. And students get their post graduate degrees from these universities.
Very touching, and skilfully executed too.
Roberta's haiku always sits in the midst of the wound of awareness….. again, the reminder of what we have failed to do with the life we've been given.
Painful and brilliant.
Blunt and painful, making us remember that haiku can be about real life issues, and pertinent to so many of us.

Brilliant! I know that feeling…
Lovely and memorable. I like the simplicity of "platelets" and the nuance of "planning to plan."
sad and a reminder not to put anything off…
Thank you for a stark reminder to plan the trip before it's too late.
