this morning
knowing the entire length
of our eastern seaboard,
has been weathering the challenges,
courageously facing the uncertainty
of irene..
postcards from paradise
became a fervent search for
the promise of light.
wherever you are in this wheel of life,
whatever our challenges;
may we all know love, shelter, safety, peace, comfort,
and always, always the presence of light.
***
postcards from paradise
an open door to the house of belonging.
won't you join me?
throw a life line of beauty,
leave a word of kindness on each others blogs
and let the circle grow.
Thank you, Rebecca, for remembering those who are being swirled and twirled and lashed and splashed by Hurricane Irene!

Indeed, the light is what we can all need to carry on, no matter what the circumstances. We must keep all those in the path of Irene in our hearts and minds, as some of us bask in our own safe paradise
elsewhere. Beautiful, touching post!

Yes they have been on my mind too, I live in a flood area where storms make their way into my home, so I know how it feels!
Thankful for the safe haven here!

Beautiful morning glories and a thoughtful and heartfelt prayer for those in the wake of a very frightening storm. We all send our thoughts and energies of safety and protection to those who may be in any harms way. We ask that they find shelter, help succor and lovingkindness until this storm passes and afterward, any restoration that is needed.

Have been gone for a few days and had not heard, until just now, how Irene finally made landfall.
thinking of all those effected and sending healing thoughts.
