I love Lenny’s song also but this time I let the plants sing. Nature and the human hand adorn and adore this ancient wall and all the cycles of life and death that have passed and will pass across its surface…
I’m glad you enlarged the photo JoNell, it does make for more dimensional and detailed viewing. I enjoy visiting your blog posts and I wish you a wonderful weekend also…
Green hallelujahs! What a perfect metaphor for uplifting spirit. And there beside the mother cradling her perished son. Very resurrectionish! Beautiful.
The juxtaposition of the simple Pieta with the abundant natural growth on an ancient wall along a walkway above the ocean impressed me with its symbolism and everyday beauty. Somehow more moving than the same subject by a Renaissance master in a great cathedral. Thanks for your comment Steven…
Hallelujah and thanks John……..and reminded me of Leonard Cohen’s song………

You’re welcome Robert, and I did consider adding Lenny’s song but then decided to let any interpretation flow free…

I love your take on this John. The verse is perfect…including the whole cycle of living and my favorite Leonard Cohen song.
