not a breath of wind
to drive away the Spirit
from familiar haunts

    Hi MMT … very beautiful photos. To think of how they had to work so hard to lay the bricks, one by one, when they built the cathedral.

    Hope your weekend is wonderful!

    Beautiful. I like the old and the new in this photo and the words that go with it.

    Beautiful architecture in the background. What a contrast to the buildings surrounding it!

    interesting little word play with “wind,” “Spirit,” and “familiar haunts.”

    your haiku puts me in mind of the verse in john 3:8:

    “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

    summer sun on dome
    only a hint of sky’s breath
    reaches my dusty feet

    Wonderful haiku and photo. I’ll have to hire you as a guide if I ever feel the urge to travel in Mexico. I’d love to see some of the cathedrals, churches, cemeterys, small towns and art that you have been showing us here.

    Peace

    The dome and the campanile rise toward heaven, above the city street, unfettered and unchanged by the activity below. It is a beautiful piece of architecture in a quaint part of the city. The spirit is in the people who are within the structure worshiping, I suspect. Lovely.

    Two worlds existing side by side joined together by spirit.

    Your words and image captures it all!

    I read this haiku over and over, going back to the photo and again read the haiku… it’s so beautiful and yet disturbing somehow… I don’t know how to explain exactly, but I love it! Enjoy the weekend!
