    This goes back to a day where walls were stout and impenetrable. However, the roofs were not built to the same standard…however, these walls are outstanding, well trimmed and holding together without mortar. So the spirits have a home to return to…

    A very old appearing place to rest and reflect on what life has to offer.

    Great contrast of ragged and smooth shadow shape! The close walls suggest some secrecy!

    Mystical murmurs—
    within the holy precincts
    ancestors still pray

    This is such a gorgeous haiku. I like the word choice and the imagery you paint here with your words. I once visited an old little chapel, somewhere in the southeast of my country and in that little chapel I sat down to listen to what this chapel would tell me … it was telling me a lot and it seemed that I could hear the prayers of my ancestors … it was a wonderful, almost holy and mystical experience. Thank you for bringing back that nice memory to me.

    I like this. I feel like you can often feel the residue of past prayers in sacred spaces. Lovely!

    MMM Teacher, it is just me again. I would like you to tell Gemma how much I appreciate her fixing my link this week. I attempted to leave her a comment and thank her, but my security will not let me do so. Strange.

    Isn’t that the truth? One can always feel the energy past of the ancient when upon their ground. Looks like you were ‘in my neck of the woods’!

    Beautiful. And to your comment to mine, it is inspired by silent worship I attended. 🙂

    And it’s a good thing they do! As I look around I suspect there is very little praying going on in the world today!

    Makes me think about the people who lived and worked there before it was ruins — all those years and years and years ago and they were looking at the same blue sky!
