In her soul she knows
the sacredness of water,
of carrying it.

    I like this!!!
    Wish I were there with you, we take a day trip to Nogales or somewhere — go shopping for just something like this.

    The water of life, we exist when we get our share. The woman is providing a very crucial service, the family and village lives still…

    Hi MMT ~~ Haven’t visited for a bit. 🙂 Neither have you me.

    Your picture and verse reminds me of the song, “Walk Like an Egyptian.” 🙂 In Egypt more than half need to carry water because they don’t have it in their homes.

    That is also why, they are used to carrying water, they can live in the cemeteries in Cairo and other crowded places. No water there either of course but it might be closer than many of the homes.

    I’m thinking this is from the same tapestry as the sun image. Hoping you’ll show a photo of the whole thing one day.
    Really love the haiku!

    That is beautiful and I like the color combination. You can really see some people doing that in other countries.
