“hope spins”
Delicate
Yes, delicate and strong like the spider’s web.
“Silk hope spins in her mind.” Silk hope; I think of that.
Thanks, Lee. This phrase sang its way to me.
Love the silk hope spins in her mind!
🙂
Pam, this American Sentence is an exquisite metaphor!
🙂
A very small, quiet, and lovely scene.
🙂
Quiet power. Yes to the spider and the spun hope in her mind! Exquisite image! 💜
Yes, spider webs when broken and replaced are stronger than the one torn. Hope needs to be that way, yes?
Luscious
🙂
good sonics
Thanks, Pat!
Lovely! I can see the action in my mind’s eye.
Glad to hear!
The joy in what is said and not said!
🙂
After the noisy sounds earlier, we have silence–could the train be stopped at a station? Nevertheless, a beautiful ending, as the others point out!
love the question….hmmm?
Another koan-like piece of perfection, Pam. Drawn to the spoken speech sounds /w/ (glide) and /s/ (sibilant fricative) when read aloud
Thanks, l, Sipe!
Wow – the spider throws the thread! Now that’s a great way to say it.
Yep, they can cross the ocean doing this, called ballooning (catch the wind currents and electrical force of earth). 🙂
I think it’s unanimous that “silk hope spins in her mind” pulls so much weight in this one.
Thanks Eric!
I love the images you use, Pam!
