Beautiful haiku. I love your use of the word "overarching" It fits perfectly with the subject.

Thank you. I don't feel I have mastered the Haiku form. They are not so easy to write.

Thank you, Jan. Just got home from a four day hospital stay with heart issues. I wrote a couple of haikus while I was in the hospital. I wish I were better at writing them with a twist in the third line.
