Gorgeous. LOVE this poem.
Thank you so much, Betsy! I love it, too. I’ve been keeping abreast of the news in the Middle East and feeling just so impotent about all the suffering. I feel this poem holds both, the darkness and light, and our role in it. And I love the photo – ours is not the only window shedding light. Take courage: we are many.
I hear you on being impotent about all the suffering–it gets overwhelming–but my hope is that light will always prevail. I will keep telling myself: “We are many.”
Yes, yes!!! And staying in good community is also crucial for our spirits.
The picture is so captivating and appropriate.
Dennis – thanks much, I’m happy you like it. I draw great comfort from this one. -cc
Thanks, Dennis. I am delighted with this photo as well. My dad is from Hong Kong, so the pic has an extra layer of depth for me.
