White clouds like blankets
You can barely see the hills
Wrapped up like mummies.
#689 On White Clouds
#688 On These Steel Blue Clouds
Under steel blue clouds
A single ray of light shines:
The lake is cool, cold.
#687 On The Dragon’s Tail
The white clouds enshroud
The verdant hillside - aswirl
Like a dragon’s tail.
#651 On This Turneresque Shroud
Like a Turneresque canvas
Rain shrouds my windows
The growl of thunder deafens.
#621 On Mister Tree’s Muffin Top
Sorry, Mister Tree:
Your muffin top is showing
On the metal bar.
#620 On Gnarled Bark Like Bricks
The gnarled bark like bricks
Stacked high up to the treetops
Grasping the blue sky
In Meguro’s autumn we
Bask in your timeless wisdom.
#589 On the Sauronic Glare
Sentinel of fire
Upon its shadowless throne:
Angry eye, glowering.
#515 Tentang Tarian Embun
Tari embun di hujung daun
Sambut girang terbit mentari
Hamba sujud merafak ampun
Tuhan alam semesta jadi.
Today’s Reads VII – Student Loan Financing, the Papaya, and Bad Writing
- This is an interesting model for student loan financing. Are there more institutions / countries out there that employ this model? The moral hazard risk looks real enough; I’d be keen to see implementations in which the risks are mitigated… #education #financing
- The power of the humble papaya! It is gratifying to see the endless ways in which our natural environs can be repurposed for good 🙂 #papaya #beauty #FT
- I knew it!!! All this time, lawyers make you think that their contracts are incomprehensible because we lack “legal expertise”… turns out they are just bad writers LOL #law #contracts
