Electric Connections? A flash fiction-haibun 1.23
There is a feeling of sanctuary when visiting national historical places...
Even when they are in big cities. Penelope was weaving her way from
the west coast to the east. She had hoped beyond measure that Grant
would wait for her. He wasn't quite sure why she wanted to do this trip
alone. But he had let her go. Vowing to welcome her with open arms -
Penny promised she’s come back. She just needed to spread her wings
and be an independent butterfly for a while. She wanted to make it to
Yosemite to visit the geysers. She was stopping in Philadelphia, PA too.
Penny didn't really want to spend a whole lot of time in museums. She
wanted to take in the architecture and the exterior monuments. Being a
fiber artist she liked to see how patterns related to each other in different
mediums. And was overjoyed with the statute of Benjamin Franklin. The
metal work was extremely unique. The vest and overcoat were covered
with what looked like real keys. And they were laid in an intricate pattern.
She especially liked the circular motion created around one of the vest
buttons. Which brought her thoughts to the weaving of myths. And how
it was a bit ironic that it was she who was traveling in her own odyssey.
