After Ralf's comment at the German blog of HaikuSine I could decode Ralf's ku. It means a burial. We throw earth into the grave - on the wooden coffin. The circle: the mourners around the grave.

This ku reminds me of "earth to earth, ash to ash, dust to dust" (liturgic phrase). The circle reminds me of "Erdkreis" which means not only earth but also the whole world.

Oh yes, I wonder how foggy my brain was yesterday..maybe because we generally cremate, burial is something I fail to relate immediately...

Rudi's view really expands the view, and thanks for that,

@ Rudi: Thanks a lot for mediating. The circle is also a sign for endlessness.

@ Dev: I have to remember that culture makes us read the same verse in different ways. Thanks for that!

@ Tikkis: Yes! Same morning, same place, same face.

@ Masago: In the truest sense of the word ;-)

@ everybody: I am pleased because of your kind comments.

Best wishes
