unfastening our hearts
love lifts the edge of heaven
prayers slip through like clouds
in the town of san miguel de allende there are over
eighty church bells.
each one is named after a saint.
these bells ring out joyously or raucously
each hour, all occasions, of every day throughout the entire year.
except for one.
good friday.
today will be silent enough to hear tears fall.
welcome to recuerda mi corazon
where on fridays lovers of small words gather to
share haiku,
visit each other with a passion and leave a word of kindness
along the way.

Yes, silence so we can hear the tears. This moved me to just exactly the place I want to be today. Thank you.

Heaven, I think, also lifts the edge of love...

The bells constantly tolling is part of what makes San Miguel so incredibly beautiful. What a fitting tribute to Mary it is to silence them for the day...and such a lovely haiku to honor Her prayers - and ours - today, on Good Friday.

lovely, dear one ...
""prayers slip through like clouds""
yes
yes they do
and
they fall with raindrops
and
they dance in sun*rays ...
{{ thank you for reminding us
of this
and
that in silence
we can hear
everything }}
