los dios mija
hindsight is twenty twenty
viva la vida!!!!
***
reflecting on voices of those loved now gone,
how they all share one desire,
to set our hearts on holy fire
viva la vida!
while haiku brings us together,
it is the time taken to visit and leave a kind word
that truly gives us a sense of belonging.
to fully experience the power of connecting i encourage you to
visit each participant and leave a kind word of
acknowledgement along the way.
imagine if our departed loved ones had one more chance to
express their place in our hearts.

recuerda mi corazon
so more may join us.
What a beautiful calavera, Rebecca. I wish you joy in your celebrations and shall hold my mother in my heart this coming weekend. xo

I remember the twinkle in my father's eye the night before he died, expressing his place in my heart.
Thank you for this wonderful place of connecting.

Rebecca, you are amazing! Lovely haiku words! The silver skull is fascinating. We are approaching the day of the dead, and it is a comfort to remember that those dear to us who have passed on are still very alive in our coming and going. As we continue on with our everyday tasks, their voices are now whispers that remind us of the continuity of life. With deep appreciation to you, Rebecca! Happy Autumn!

I don't exactly know how I ended up commenting on last Sunday's post, but here I am regrouping and commenting on today. Thanks to you and Stephanie I have been encouraged to remember even more than I usually do this time of year. How I love this calavera.
