How many tears dropped on the stone,

how many sorrows,

how many dreams,

how many l ost children

how much hope, how much faith

how many prayers, how many

Gods do people pray to?

"One breath away/From distant times" - what a gorgeous way to knit together the past and present! I love this poem and would like to stand there, in that ancient alcove.

This poem is spiritually moving. You must have been so intrigued. Between the history behind this place of worship and to be able to go there and take that lovely photo. You make me smile Trudi. Namaste

It was a beautiful tiny chapel next to a larger Orthodox Church. It felt very special. Thank you, Jo-Ann.✨
