As we grow older and life has taught us some lessons, we learn restraint and caution; we learn that there are other ways to join with family and friends without uprooting ourselves.
Four and a half years ago, this photo held the meaning of tragedy that comes with too early death. It signified idealism and sacrifice. Today it remains that and more. Now it is joined by wisdom won by suffering, prayer, and the struggle to keep hope alive.

Past turning to future.... what a lovely and poignant way of reminding us of that endless turning of the wheel of time, with its heart aches and pleasures that spiral together in memory.
A young death is never easy...even revisited I am sure.
I am smiling at your post below, I had not heard of chilacayote before I was in San Miguel a couple of years ago...I love this veggie!

Beautiful photograph. No matter how long it has been in the past you never get over the death of a child.
Grieving is not easy work, but it is holy work, and as we do it, healing comes.

Wonderfully composed. The haiku and photo are in perfect balance. Take the time to grieve, time is on your side.
holding you close with compassion and bright hope. your photograph and haiku are hauntingly beautiful, as is this circle of life we all share, challenged both in shadow and light.
What a beautiful and thoughtful post. And how wonderful to look at your past work and find how it both changes and remains the same. Lovely.
Again, a touching beautiful post and photograph. (((Annie)))
