what is known of life?
facing forward, turning back
all roads point to love
***
love, always closer than it might appear.
welcome to haiku my heart,
a meme with a deep sense of community that continues
to strengthen through genuine sharing.
while haiku brings us together,
it is the time taken to visit each other
and leave a kind word
that has truly given us a sense of belonging.
everyone is invited.
to fully experience the warmth i encourage you to
visit each participant and leave a kind note of
acknowledgement.
this very momnet
i am
sleepless by the sea
turning
turning
turning
i found
~~love,
always closer than it might appear~~
{{sometimes
you can B so wise, dear one}}

Thank you for this blessed and wondrous reminder, Rebecca: "all roads point to love." May we never be so blind as to miss the way...

Nothing guaranteed
Harshness consumes strongest kind
Peace and love blossoms
Visual effects
Magical, illusory
Love is blessed truth
Thank you rebecca for the pointers at every cross road!! It kindly leads the way!!

This is fantastic. YOU are fantastic. A beautiful explanation of the idea that we all show our love for our fellow human connections through this exercise.
Great photo. I can see it was from the passenger side, so I don't have to scold you about taking photos while driving like everyone does to me! (And, I need to get a mirror like this, with the cut-out for the convex lense).
Lovely, just lovely. I am so proud to be here on Fridays.
Peace

Hello rebecca,
I lived in that part of the world for a couple of years. It is so familiar. I will take your words to heart today my dear friend. I had an email from my sister saying that she didn't have room for me at Christmas but I could come anyway if I had somewhere else to stay. I will try to remember your words today, facing forward, turning back, all roads point to love. Because I realize that if we choose that, we do find it. Thank you for the love that you always give me.
xoxoxo,
Noelle

I love you and that glittery, beautiful, wide open heart of yours, Rebecca.
I am once again so grateful to be in the world at the same time as you.
Huge hugs.

Love the photo and reminder. Sometimes days are so hectic we forget that it's love that got us to where we are at now. I make time to tell my husband and loved ones that I love them. It's good to know you Rebecca and to read you. Have a wonderful weekend.

I love your view of the Golden Gate Bridge. In my opinion, it's always viewed best close up. Hehehe.
