Nova Once, while rushing to a business deal at a hotel in San Francisco, I glanced into one of the many windows of Grace Cathedral. Do you know the place, where, at street level, a quick look through pitch black night will freeze the altar? Anyway, my breath caught at the explosion of light from the nuptial vestments and the couple's faces. RMW [This message has been edited by RMW (05-06-2004 10:05 AM).] |

A once-in-a-lifetime glance, captured, delivered... kept. |

Bob "Do you know the place, where, at street level, a quick look through night pitch black will freeze the altar?" I lived in San Francisco in the 60's, and yes, I know the place...but my eyes did not see the way yours do. Another good poem...I'm so glad to see you posting more! ![]() |

Sunshine and Martie .... As always, you are much too kind, and I'm much to negligent when it comes to sharing my appreciation for the wonderful poetry each of you share. Thank you. Swatcatpettus ...You made me smile. Thank you. Enchantress and Passing Shadows .... Thank you, and I repeat the sentiment expressed above. Lost Awhile ....... Ah, a Brit! Welcome, though perhaps you've been here awhile. And, thank you for taking a moment to share. Bob |

You know, I've been to the Grace Cathedral, on a field trip with my son's class when he was in 1st grade. That lovely rose leaded art glass at the top, the prayer maze rug, the tributes to the Aids Quilt in a side room. Wonderous place filled with memories of time. Thanks for this. Hope all is well with you. corinne |
