no dark cloud darling
but a thousand wings beating
there's no place like home
***
this is the hope that fills me...
that the large and charitable sky sings softly above us
as seasons of love unfold in eternal splendor
at our grateful feet.
that we recognise soul in the eyes of everyone,
and wherever we travel;
find ourselves planted firmly
in the house of belonging.
i will be home tuesday although i
will not be able to comment until then,
i will be eagerly reading your haiku from afar
and look forward to each one!
new to haiku my heart?
please sign in with mr.linky using your haiku URL
and link back to recuerda mi corazon
so more may find us.
enjoy each offering and leave an acknowledgement
along the way.
My thoughts are with you Rebecca!

not even ravens
can keep me from coming home—
I can outfly them

Wow! This haiku really touches my heart!

Waiting here in the 'house of belonging', is a comfy chair for you to rest on your return, to reflect on each message of togetherness.

Home,where the heart is
Free of fears and racking woes
Roll without a hitch
Pillars stand the storms
Crawl through darkness of life
Cloaked with love and warmth
My good wishes and prayers are with you for a successful mission!

I love the line, "to recognize the soul in the eyes of everyone" and the theme of inclusion. I hope your heart is filled with joy as you travel to favorite places and visit cherished friends. I eagerly await your return!

More peace sent your way as you traverse the universe.

rebecca,
My heart is with yours. I know that this trip means the world to you on so many levels. I am eager to hear what happened and know the amazing consequences of your talk, for they cannot be anything other than phenomenal my dear friend. Enjoy your time with Billy in a place with so many memories.
Much Love,
Noelle

Every time I see this photo I am amazed at how small, yet perfect, the bloom is in the person's hands.

I rose this morning to fog, unusual for us...felt the need to share this Mary Oliver poem rather than write a Haiku myself...
enjoy :)

safe travels...so thankful for your inspiration and the inspiration of others here

I have a sign near my front door that says "there's no place like home". It's good to remember that and be grateful.

Rebecca, thinking of you in San Francisco. You are an inspiration to me with my own health challenges.

Wond'ring if you are still here
Cities by the Bay
Are you still in the Bay Area, Rebecca?

Blessings on your travels dear Rebecca ... Both near and far.
I will link a new haiku this week.
A rather cynical one I'm afraid ....

Thinking of you....

Hello! I'm a writer for an online shop that caters to mixed media artists called Gauche Alchemy. I am planning a blog post about matchbox shrines and would love to include a few pieces from your gallery with proper photo credit and links back to the creators and your blog.
Our blog is http://gauchealchemy.wordpress.com/
and I can be reached at hernandm 1 at yahoo dot com.
I'm sorry I had to post a public comment- my computer keeps opening a link to an email program I do not subscribe to whenever I try to hit the email me link.
Thank you. This website is incredibly inspiring.
