live from your whole heart
be the light, be the flower
one breath at a time
***
for some life seems to stretch comfortably
into forever,
while 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.
love fiercely and haiku forever..

On these edges... may we have wings to fly... may we have grace to guide us... into this unknown dance... your laughter wraps around me like a hug... it fills my heart, these small words of yours and ask me to dance, yet again. Yes, I say. I will dance this edge with you, always... XO

"No one knows." And yet we think we know it all! How humbling writing haiku is. Just a handful of words that can make or break the universe...

Your words embraced me with their wisdom this morning. The very act of living one breath at a time is the path to joy ! Thank you, Rebecca!

This is a beautiful photo and beautiful words Rebecca. I think that most people live on the edge of life, and just don't realize it. How could we, when life offers such tantalizing goodies? Reality is usually just out of sight and loving fiercely is all we know. Love to you.

Grateful for this moment, grateful for the hearts I get to touch and be touched by along the way. And grateful for gatherings of hearts like this.
Happy Friday, Beautfiul heart.

Cultivate compassion..lovely. In yoga today a similar sentiment.
Is it possible to be kind?....it is always possible.

no one knows...that is what entered my mind when I read the directions for a colonoscopy prep this past week. "If you have a living will or advanced directive, please bring a copy with you the day of your procedure." For some reason, those words did not stand out to me, but this time...oh, yes. We have only today, and I am glad that you and other haiku writers are there with me.
