Joel's hay(na)ku

Blauwe zon weerspiegelt
drie vechtende
draken.

Blue sun reflects
three fighting
dragons.

I am taking Physiotheraphy with Patty. I wonder why, but still I like it.

Look at the blue sun.

Mother's note:

Don't ask me why, but Joel seems to like having a blue sun instead of a yellow one.

I'm quite surprised to discover how concentrated and determined Joel can be when he sets his mind to a task. It's amazing to see him at work. Drawing two arrows crossed over each other was difficult for him, but he kept going until he was satisfied he had it right.

Patty says, Joel's concentration amazes her.

And like all his other teachers, she thinks he doesn't talk like a kid his age. But maybe that comes from living among grown-ups...
