live from your whole heart
better than a thousand words
one word for peace
***
reflect, forgive, let go, 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.
lovers of sleek words gather gleeful
to strip down to the bare essence of expression.
we visit each other with a vengeance,
leave comments with a
passion
and lie in wait for the next friday
when we bare our souls all over again.
it's been a long week and i have missed you all.
i hope you will link your post back to
recuerda mi corazon
and invite your readers to join us.
and please
return on saturday
when my gratitude to all rises
in the honoring of one,
lover of small words.
Your birds and blossoms, so lovely!

Your message of peace is so beautifully offered, accompanied by those sweet birds...who must have wondered where all that snow had come from!

I could look at that bird all day. So lovely! Your words illustrate "forgiveness is divine" so well.

Part of what make Fridays so special, so peaceful, is coming here and knowing there will be friends gathered. Like coming in the door at a party that I am invited to and folks are gathered, smiling, laughing, eager to greet me, and me, them.
Love the haiku and the birds hanging out. There are birds at my place today as well, doing the same thing, reminding us of peace.
Thank you for this special gift you give us each week, and plenty of gifts on the days in between as well.
Much Peace

Such beautiful words. And the pictures just take my breath away. Just want to take the little things and cradle then in the warmth of my hands so they would not be so cold. Have a wonderful day!

Beautiful photos, wonderful words.
I can't come empty-handed. Have to resume my haiku practice. A haiku a week didn't do it. Back to one a day.
