when haiku arrives
i rise up from quiet dreams
drink deep from small cups
dear friends,
aren't haiku such perfect cups of soul nourishment?
how i love fridays knowing we will
be together once more,
haiku by haiku;
drinking each other in.
your presence, opens me like summer flowers,
so full of life, so rich in meaning,
so generously colouring our world.
i rise up with such eagerness to welcome you
again and again.
ready for a cup of virtual tea?
please link back to

recuerda mi corazon links back to this haiku post)
so more may join us.
Dear Rebecca, how do these synchronicities happen? I woke this morning with my haiku tumbling from my sleep... and find here that we have cups of sweetness to share indeed. How I too look forward to Fridays, thank you for this place for us to all come together and share such beauty. XO

Hello rebecca dear. So glad you made it and lovely to see your sweet geisha gracing the page. You are a joy in my life and it is such a treat for me to be able to do this once in a while even though I should be burying my nose in a book. I remember this haiku and how it touched me the first time I read it. It still reminds me of Thich Nhat Hanh. Thank you for linking me my dear friend!
xoxox,
Noelle

Haiku, arriving, every Friday. The days before Haiku My Heart is in my mind. That's when I'll see all my friends. That's when I'll visit them and they'll come to my place and share their kindness. This interchange is priceless. May you know how I anticipate this weekly experience.
In the beginning, I would want to hopefully write something that would make the people stand up and take notice. Now, the writing comes from the heart, not the head, and we say what we need to say to each other, provoking thought, humor, sadness, mirth and an emotional roller coaster of feelings for each other, all through our haiku.
I thank you for this gift.
Much Peace

I had a perfect day yesterday, and I'm so glad to share it with you with my photos and haikus! Thanks so much Rebecca, for making this possible every Friday! I will visit the rest of the circle in the weekend, as the hours of this day flew and it is already late in the afternoon...

This week has had some lessons about remembering to keep myself filled up in order to have the energy and strength to give where my heart wants to give. Taking the time to write a haiku, and then to share it here, in this sweet community of big hearts, is something that fills me up. I am grateful for that !
I am also so grateful for the light and love that you bring to the world, Rebecca. Thank your for sending me a tangible piece of that love and light in a lovely giftie I found in my mail box this week. I will treasure my sweet milagro. It made my heart glow bright.
Love you, Beautiful One.

While most of you are drinking virtual tea while visiting here, I am drinking deliciously strong Peets coffee. Thanks, Rebecca, for your inspiration. I always feel uplifted visiting you, seeing your photos and reading words that never cease to inspire me.

I love the feel of 'quiet dreams' and 'small cups.' What a charming haiku! It reinforces my wish of shopping for a new cute tea set again.

Hey Rebbeca. I'm like a bull in a glass shop. But I think I'm getting it. The duck shots are great. They say less is more. I say more is more. Because if you did have it. You still push yourself to have more. Hoping that you becoming the best at what you do. You make it look easy.
Hope to see you.
David & Sarah
