When the elders come,
they braid both light and darkness
into paths of joy.

    We notice the darkness all too often. We seem mired in it. So here, the arched pools of light seem far greater than any shade and dark. A little bit of light goes so far in chasing any gloom out…beautiful architecture, too. Happy July 4!

    Neat ShadowShot. Those arches remind me of The Cloisters (museum) in Manhattan. I used to go there as a child. Have a great weekend.

    For a moment I thought you had visited Kelso Abbey in the Scottish Borders, as I have a similar photo from there!!!!!

    That is a beautiful use of words. The arches look like knotted braids as well. You’ve done it again, melted the entire image and letters into one piece. Great job.

    Prace

    this haiku is a deep honoring of revering the elders, we can learn so much from a culture of arches and elder love.
    lovely.
    love this so much.

    A wonderful use of the word “braid”! Spiritually enchanting! And love the arching shadows in your photo! Like a fringe of yin and yang!

    Also, just letting you know re my SSS post on seagulls, I too love them! I just feel we humans, in our urge to feed them, really feed our own needs! As a result we have created the monster persona in them!

    You are so darned gifted with your photos and haikus. It seems to come magically to you which is no surprise given your name. Yes, I am about to gather with Mollie for a walk down to Sapphire Street in Redondo Beach.

    Lovely-just lovely all the way around! I love those arches. They add rhythm and movement to the tile floor.

    Picture perfect! Love the style where it captures the ray of light.

    Teach me! This is perfection! If form follows function–then you hit the arch on the head with the words of nails!!
