perched on a new year
may we land soft, hearts open
harbinger of peace
together we are perched on the eve of a bright new landscape,
the sheer white edge of fresh beginnings.
a time to reflect, forgive, let go and let in.
may we press each day to our hearts and live fully.
cherish family, embrace friends, and with compassion
open wide the doors to the house of belonging.
as we welcome in this bright new year please join me
in wishing noelle the happiest birthday;
i embrace december 30 with genuine gratitude
for it is the day all life converged to give us the gift of you!
now my friends....
come haiku the heart of a bright new year!
A very Happy New Year, Rebecca.. thanks for spreading light and happiness ... today is happy and future smiles...past didn't last.. God bless..

Rebecca,
What an entirely beautiful way to bring in the new year. Mine is not a new year's post but your doves perched on bright green branches edged with the whitest snow offer such hope for new beginnings and the completion of the year at hand. Most significantly, the offering of friendship, compassion and belonging ring in my heart like a silver bell. Thank you for the sweet birthday wishes!
Much Love,
Noelle xoxox

Ah, my heart feels even more hopeful about the coming year when I read your beautiful words and see your photos. And happy birthday, Noelle. Off to the gym and then the doc, but I'll visit everybody this afternoon.
