We seem far away,
yet we are near as weeping
or the breath of God…

    Nice installation, the marigolds add the touch of Dia De Los Muertos.

    this may be one of my very favorite haiku of yours!
    and since you have possibly written over a thousand of them that is saying a lot!
    bravo!

    Now these are very artistic skulls–just large eye holes. They are beautiful. They aren’t on display at MOLAA by any chance, are they? I’ve got to go Google and see what is there this week leading up to Dia de los Muertos.

    Brilliant! Your light shines so brightly. And, I find myself wishing I had masks like that of my own!

    That’s it, I’m going to the Day of the Dead exhibit at Wake Forest today! These masks are great! The one thing I DON’T want to be for Halloween is a REAL Calavera Catrina, if you know what I mean.
