a pheasant’s cry –
resounding in the mountains
the voice of silence

the voice of silence…always there…waiting

the ring of dancers

The depth of the hearts
Of humankind cannot be known.
But in my birthplace
The plum blossoms smell the same
As in the years gone by.

weekly photo challenge: admiration
Each day there are “everyday people” whose work day begins hours before the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange. They are only famous among family and friends so most likely their life stories will never be within Time magazine. We may briefly greet an “everyday person” as we go through our day with a quick nod, wave, and smile. Yet, seldom do we acknowledge that it is through their unique labors that most of us enjoy so many things taken for granted:
- strawberries for breakfast
- closets filled with clothes
- tables cleared at favorite restaurant
- shelves stocked at grocery stores
- weekly trash pick up
- traveling along highways and over bridge ways
What would happen if suddenly all of these admirable people suddenly disappeared…
Submitted in response to Krista’s photo challenge: Admiration
