the world is so huge
i want to have a good look
before it grows dark
dear world,
i want our hearts to remain open to you
throwing willing arms bravely around your
every offering
seeking out the sacred
moment by moment
loving fiercely
giving truly
until the last song.
xoxo

thinking of you as the veil thins and we light candles and sit in the glow...
remembering them
in glow of candles lit
and fluttering breath
haiku here, altar there

The lovely thing about a world gone dark is that we can always rely on the light to return to us. Blessings to you on the Feast of All Saints.

Our world is filled with many things that deserve a good look. It's always wonderful to celebrate life of the living and of those who once lived.

oh, my dear Rebecca, what a surprise for me to find that your feelings match so many of mine in recent months! one friend even suggested that I quit listening to the nightly news. as if! maybe the two of us can keep those fears at bay by our joining our hearts and hands.
God bless you always!

Remembering... this time last year... being with you, Steph, and Bonnie... where my heart began to heal, eyes opening wide to this incredible world around us in all new ways... thinking of you with much love and gratitude... and all my heart... xoxoxo

I love your words, Rebecca, and your art, of course. Are you still in San Miguel? After celebrating Day of the Dead on Friday night and reflecting on my own life by this year's home ofrenda, life seems fragile. Consequently, it also becomes all that much more precious. Hope you had an incredible time.
