The poles seem to represent just about all the important things in our lives. I love your haiku, photos, and message today!

Your tipi and your tipi haiku are truly magical. Thanks for reminding me about what the poles mean. I had long ago forgotten that.
ReplyDeleteYou teach me an important lesson... I didn't know about tipi poles but I do know these are important words... I'm glad you remind me of that today. The haiku and photos are fabulous!
ReplyDeletewhat beautiful photos - brings peace to my soul.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know of the symbolism of tipi poles -- thanks for the lesson!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this. What a wonderful Tipi. Thank you for the lesson. I didn't know either. We used to have a tipi village in Isla Vista where people lived years ago but they outlawed it. It was a nice thing.

These are beautiful life guides! I love yours, too, Gemma: gratitude. I try to journal 5 things I'm grateful for every day before I go to bed. Wouldn't you love to have a tipi in your backyard for an overnight camping trip close to home? And see the blazing white sun as well as the moon and stars through the smoke hole?
ReplyDeleteThere is wisdom to be found in all cultures if only we would take a peek, thank you for sharing this.
