Haiku in space

Wikipedia-Naoko Yamazaki


On April 5th, 2010,Yamazaki entered space on the shuttle Discovery as part of mission STS-131. She is expected to return to Earth on April 18th, 2010. She is a JAXA astronaut, and the second Japanese woman to qualify as an astronaut. The first was Chiaki Mukai.

She sent this haiku from space to earth.

瑠璃色の 地球も花も 宇宙の子

Ruri iro no chikyu mo hana mo uchiyu no ko

Alam semesta
bumi dan bunga juga
warna lazuardi

Universal child
The earth and the flowers too
In azure color

    Perjalanan jauh tidak pernah melupakan Yamazaki terhadap (1) Bahasa ibundanya (2) sastera bangsanya.

    Ini membuktikan dengan NYARING bahawa :
    (1)bukan bahasa Inggeris sahaja yang hebat di dunia (bukan menolak BI)
    (2)mempertahankan identiti bahasa/bangsanya tidak menghalang seseorang ke angkasa lepas

    Wassalam.
