Thank you so much! It is cool what God shows us. For years praising the Lord then I happen to look down and see the praising shadows on the floor. Reminds me of Psalm 91 verse 1 - we who live under the protection of the Most High, dwell in the shadow of the Almighty. God bless you, Gershon!

Beautiful senryu. When the congregation chants laudatory praises, God will be there.
