winter's white canvas
covers the hearts of flowers
love knows all seasons
i look forward to our fridays.
meeting to drink from the cup of small words the elixir of friendship
spiced with the thrill of so many diverse voices,
warming hearts in these long winter nights.
thank you, all of you who arrive,
bright and promising as
roses in the snow.
***
dear friends,
please keep joe spadoman in your hearts
and prayers, he is in need of us.
this christmas may we all
open our hearts to the world around us.
may we throw open the doors to the house of belonging,
may we sit close and stoke the fires of love.
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 word of
acknowledgement along the way.
please link back to
haiku my heart
at
recuerda mi corazon
so more may join us.

So much depth of beauty, such a crush of crimson love color beneath a blanket of grace. Thank you for your place in my heart always. It is very late and I have been working a long time on a post for our friend. I am off to bed now.
xoxoxo,
Noelle

Oh, she's gorgeous in that snow.......
I dropped in to ask for more prayers and healing thoughts for Spadoman.
Somehow, I don't think that's 'necessary'--I doubt that you stopped.
*hugs*
Thanks Rebecca.
