Sunday 160 entitled "Hope"


As gruesome as oil spilling into the sea is he who betrayed one for silver ten times three.
It seems,
from horrific means,
humanity gleans
the Creator’s dreams.

  4. Great 160. About the picture, are those rusted out coins in the mix? Pirate treasure?

  6. What a poignant 160! It is really terrible what has happened in the waters off American shores. I saw footage on the TV the other day of the brown pelicans smothered in black oil,unable to move. It is so sad..I pray that they can move quicker to stop the oil & the devastation that it is causing. A thought provoking piece of writing.

  7. Alice,
    I believe the photographer did say this was "pirate's treasure." He said the brown spots are the glue that held the coins in place - not sure how all of that works since I am not a pirate of that sort! ;) Thanks for reading and commenting, everyone!
