recuerda mi corazon

haiku my heart from the land of enchantment

here the heart's a door

that is already open 

we slip in like prayers

slowly the sun melts the low lying clouds and all the 

colours wake up in a sultry bright tango of birds

and church bells.

every moment mixes the perfect infusion

of awakening all ones senses.

i am forever dressed in gratitude 

as the chambers of my heart are

thrown wide open and

life becomes a

prayer.

haiku my heart golden

telling our stories

church bells stitch our days to nights

we wear love like gold

 

 

this morning the courtyard was golden

with the light of

bells ringing, sun drenching,

heart opening love.

 

old friendships christened,

new ones born.

and when i paused to bring you all here into this moment,

into the golden light of love;

souls opened

as the cyberworld closed her mighty curtain.

so morning is now noon and the church bells are still ringing...

are you here waiting to share your

 haiku hearts?

san miguel de allende

december 10 - december 19

 

as winter leans in with a vengeance and the commercial crescendo

of the holidays starts way too soon in every town USA,

come away with me

to a land of enchantment,

warm easy weather,

charming heartfelt traditions,

delicious meals, joyous music and a birthday fiesta

to end all fiestas,

december 12  the feast day of

our lady of guadalupe.

christmas season in san miguel

is a time of vibrant celebrations where 

devotional reverence and spontaneous joy combine

for a uniquely heartfelt focus on the holidays.

 

the town will come alive with

a traditional christmas fair at plaza civica, 

a living nativity in the jardin,

the sweet celebration of our lady of guadalupe,

processions, posadas, castillos and always, the unexpected. 

 

here is just a smattering of the savoring

we will share....

 

 

a journey into  the colorlicious mosaic world of

Anado Mc Lauchlin

 

an inspiring Q & A  replete with mescal toasts

and the queen of recreating herself,

Patrice Wynne

 Abrazos Boutique

patron saint of living the dream in san miguel.

 

a day trip to the wondrous

woodcarvers of Apaseo El Alto, 

Guanajuato

El Santuario de Atotonilco

one of the most cherished devotional destinations in

the southern hemisphere.

a visit and buying spree to my favorite off the beaten path

altarista extraordinaire

 lupita-inspired nicho workshop 

combining her love for all things mary

in the style of her exquisite encrusted memory jugs.

and the chance to capture memories,

talismans and tokens of devotion in a personal

nicho to cherish forever.
