live from your whole heart
be the light, be the flower
one step at a time
***
for some eternity seems to stretch comfortably into forever,
others stand on the edge grateful for one more moment.
the truth is no one knows.
so dance.
laugh.
cultivate compassion.
forgive.
encourage.
be the light, be the flower.
live fiercely and haiku forever..

I try to remember to be the (beautiful) flower, as daily challenges arise... Thank you for your poignant reminder, as we head into this most glorious autumn season.

One step at a time is the key.

Dear sweet Rebecca... You wrote..."the truth is no one knows."
I must tell you that I might have a slight edge in this department, or at least an inclination towards knowing, using the past years experiences as a gauge.
As I mend from the latest debacle, I still can feel see hear and taste the seasonal changes and will dance in my heart, keeping this lesson in mind. As I get ready for Los Dias de Los Muertos here in our own home, I am so sad to have to miss this adventure. Can I count on you and the others to savor those moments in San Miguel for Mrs. Spadoman and myself? I knew I could count on you and the others.
Yopur Haiku today is good advice and will be taken as a gospel.
Peace to you and all you hold dear.

Once again... the synchronicities of what I find as I step into this holy friday space, this precious moment of eternity, right here in the glow of what stirs our hearts... how grateful I am for you Rebecca and the others I have met in this ever rippling circle of what matters, this beauty light of our souls... XO

This is great, takes the pressure off, "live from your whole heart" yet "one step at a time"
I really like that! :-) May your weekend be filled with light!

This is lovely. What inspiration - the words of encouragement and enlightenment as the photo capturing the light on the flower - soaking it in.

The perfect haiku for my day my month my summer, I am poking around as i have a rare moment. I am hoping you are doing your Sunday Oct Los Dias event (it has crossed my mind several times this last couple weeks that i must check). I visit my own site to see that it is still there LOL and how i can work it in now that pressures are easing & i find your sweet and generous note. I have had unexpected responsibilities in my extended family that left little room for else beyond my own dear ones at home and their precocious lives, somethings had to give, thus our blog hiatus though i peeked round rare time to time. Sometimes life calls us to gather rose petals but gives us little time in the garden. I hope to extend my rhythm again, perhaps only once a month perhaps every 2nd week.. we will see what works, but i should slide back in time for October 2 days away? It is so soothing to find you all still sailing smoothly. xxxx L
