works on both the sacred (although i'm not the one to comment on that) and the profane level
"ordinary darkness" is a concept which made me grin - i love the way in which you have managed to both embrace and affectionately smile at the religious aspect
thank you
Thanks, polona and floots. It's a privilege to have sensitive readers like you
brilliant. :)
(congratulations on the publication!)
this is excellent, it works on both levels as Polona says,
Thank you, Andrew and Juliet.
There are some different levels for this darkness. Your neighborhood returned, but what did you do? Is the answer in L1? Also, it's time for a new moon just in these days, so no moon at all.
Interesting, Bill!
But, in the ordinary darkness the journey began.
i like your haiku, Bill
and
i like what Pat wrote
best wishes,
Angelika
Pat, you've clearly caught what I was going for, and, Angelika, I'm glad you did, too.
Around here, tikkis, the Feast of the Epiphany, January 6, is the customary end of the Christmas season, when the Christmas lights go out. The irony of this association in relation to the meaning of the word and to the relevant New Testament story is part of what was in my mind. Thanks for your response.
This is profound!
Thank you, gautami.
This is very nice. You let us glimpse into the mind with this one. Beautiful!
Much appreciated, Melissa.
Loved this one Bill. I am with Floots on this. Can I perfect what he said?
I am doubting it....smiles
Christmas season ends--
shards of morning sunlight stream
through the brickwork
much love
gillena
T, floots has a way of saying things, but I'm glad to hear your voice, too.
Thanks for the ku, gillena.
