earth note 462

si surat stupa, surat thani province, thailand

on a bicycle in 1988

the hill was always a challenge
a magical view across the valley
rolling out into the gulf of thailand
refocusing your perspective
every turn of the crank

sunday was a day

to open every pore
lovers finding
cool shadows from the stone
where a whisper echoes
like a singing bowl
