prayers ride the wild wind
healing love circles your heart
be still and know peace
"The sage is dried, lit with a match and set afire. The flame is extinguished and the sage is allowed to smolder. Your prayers are put into the sage and the smoke rises upwards to the universe, carrying your prayers to the Great Mystery. The smoke circles you and takes your thoughts beyond the Star Nation to be heard. You are purified and cleansed. Confident that your prayers are heard, you carry on with lightness and ease of mind. Healing has started or maybe continued, for your special purpose, but always for all of humanity. Always for the health and happiness of the people as we are all related.
Today, if you need prayer, take what you need and leave the rest."
today we light sage in honor of a man of peace.
thanks to all who have joined to make the circle stronger
and truly lift the heart of another in need.
in celebration of joe's homecoming
and to hold him up for the great challenges ahead
we dedicate
haiku my heart
with honor to our joe.
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.
witness the strength of our
out pouring of love for
joe!
as always i encourage you to
visit each participant and leave a word of
acknowledgement along the way.
please link back to
haiku my heart
at
recuerda mi corazon
so more may join us.
So glad Joe is home and doing better. I'll remember this for tomorrow's haiku for healing for Joe.

Rebecca,
I love the sacred sage ceremony that you included here. That must be from Joe. It must have been part of his gift to you. It is lovely. I am so glad for this space to offer him our love and so grateful for you.
xoxoxo,
Noelle

There are no words powerful enough to say Thank You to the many souls that have passed through here taking the time to bless another's spirit. Truly a healing circle for all. Thank You, Thank You, Thank each and every one of You.
Peace

Beautiful Rebecca! And as I type my name in the list, I see Spadoman's name appear right above mine. It's a special moment we all share. I thank the great spirit for finding you and 'the haiku-people!' (sounds like a nice name for our tribe, isn't it?!)

Bless you dear Rebecca,
Bless Joe our dear brother,
