My offering…
Serenity is
Found in the peace of His home
A calmness of mind

Read as
Serenity is found on the peace of His home;
Found in the peace of His home, a calmness of mind
I always find that a sense of calm waves over me whenever I see our local Gurdwara. We are lucky, we live literally a stone’s throw away, and I see this magnificent building every day.
It’s a great start to a day, and a wonderful way to finish one too!
The rainbow that day was just an added sense of calm that complemented the whole scene that morning.

Sue’s Underground photo prompt this week for 99 word or fewer pieces, be it prose, poetry, humour… whatever takes your fancy! Check it out here.
It always intrigued me, that little hole… I wandered past it most days, whilst walking my dog.
Not really small enough to be a burrow of any sort, but not big enough to be some sort of manmade cave…
One day Toffee was running on ahead, as he did, and his lead started pulling tight. His barks grew more and more frantic, so I quickly followed him to see what was up.
As I turned the corner to the mouth of this mini cave, all I saw was the back of a little person, scampering away down the tunnel…
Think I may be channelling a little Enid Blyton here, I have been reading the Fairy Folk to the kids!!!

Ok, so that’s going a little far, no I am scrolling through my digital prints for a good answer to the prompt, and to be honest, I have a few! The subject of my inspiration… Sonu Singh… well he is always on/in/under/over/behind things!
Watching life from here
Behind these small barriers
No one can see me
