Today’s photo, that illustrates my haiku, wasn’t taken by my friend but by a local photographer Gert Eggebeen. It pictures the “Oostkerk” (Eastern church) near my house. Some evenings, a colourfull light shines behind the windows remembering someone who passed away. “Everyone can light up a light in any color in memory of a loved one between 7 and 10 p.m. A modest fee is charged for energy costs.” There’s a calender to be found online that shows the names for whom the light is burning. Ain’t that a wonderful initiative?

Sometimes we need a reminder to remember…
That haiku, the light in the church. What a wonderful sentiment. I would light a blue, perhaps.
What a beautiful way to remember… a light shining into our world… I think I would choose green. I always love seeing your journals. Thank you Marit!
Nice haiku and photo
much love
