Blue Monday: Archway
An archway frames the sky at Mission San Xavier del Bac, Tucson, Arizona.
An archway that frames the blue sky
Is worth looking for, and here’s why:
It makes the sky seem
To be Van Gogh’s dream,
Enchanting your mind and your eye.

Blue Monday: Meeting Place
Mission San Xavier del Bac, Tucson, Arizona.
Here heaven and earth seem to meet,
Although it’s not near any street,
But out in the wild
Where even a child
Can sniff at the air and say, “Sweet!”

“That’s cool! I wonder if each tile was made and then matched or painted on the tiles after they were put together. How tall is this? Looks like it is on a wall high above your head. Your words are truly gracious for Our Lady.”
(Comment left by Joe Spado aka Spadoman, blogger at Round Circle, when this post was first published on 6 December 2011. Joe’s sudden and unexpected death two days ago has left many hearts bereft.)
My Lady Comfort,
just to see your gracious face—
fruit and bread and wine!
