buddha convention
no shoes, no shirt, no problems
let the light wake you
***
isn't it really always about the light?
i keep searching for an earlier arrival of dawn. winter being so meek we must be closer to
waking up to a thousand songs of spring.
my dreams grow more seductive hoping to contain me in familiar sheets,
such a ploy of old romance and unrequited love.
but it's the light i am seeking.
the fire and ice
of
breathing
in
and breathing out
love.
Love the whole world as a mother loves her only child.
Buddha
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 with love back to
(haiku my heart links to the welcome and how to page)
at
recuerda mi corazon links back to todays haiku gathering)
so more may join us.
(p.s. search engines do not recognise words like
"here" or "rebecca" or "haiku"
as a link.
they want the whole enchilada!)

The second line has set me laughing! I think I shall pretend to be a jolly baby Buddha this evening!
When one of my Korean sons was very small, he was also delightfully rolypoly, so I'd take him in my arms and sing this song:
Baby Buddha, how are you?
Baby Buddha, Baby Tuckoo.
Such nonsense, but also such fun!

Hi Rebecca, I can feel the strength returning to you...what a perfectly fun haiku! Those little buddhas look like candy.
Oh those seductive dreams...me too, it's the moon I think...
And my sheets are getting a little too familiar...gotta wash them one of these days :D

"Such a ploy of old romance and unrequited love"...brilliant! It won't be long now...really. March is when things speed up incredibly...and love will come to stay. Gotta love those bright little buddas, all lined up in a row!

What a fun haiku.
If those were gummy buddhas I would have to eat them!!

such a powerful song : my dreams grow more seductive hoping to contain me in familiar sheets, such a ploy of old romance and unrequited love - it can only be vanquished by the Light and the Love of a Mother for her only child! beautifully said Rebecca

Those are a bunch of colorful Buddhas! I never thought about them being topless, but I guess they are. Also glad this place has no binding rules so they can be here.
I am also glad to be here this morning. It is like seeing the smile and attention of friends when you walk into a room. My life is blessed to be here.
Thank you for all you do.
Peace

Hello dear,
Just stopped in to leave a love note on your beautiful image of colorful buddhas and the lovely inference to Frost's Fire and Ice poem. i think that this quotation from the Buddha has to be my favorite. I am inspired by it. I believe that if it is alright with you, I will use it in my thesis, perhaps in the front pages. i am very grateful. Thank you.
Much love,
noelle
