A different and interesting image- 'such responsibility'.

I like the feeling of this one, but am a bit puzzled by it. Is "such responsibility" meant to be tongue in cheek?

diana the haiku does not really work - i was so excited by it i just posted it straight away. when I came back to it i relised my mistake.

'such responsibility' is a reference to making the day useful and meaningful. It was such a beautiful morning I felt such beauty needed a response from me.
