when joy enters you
a thousand clouds cannot stop
the sun in your heart
i am thinking of people
who wake up in the world and live life like flowers
and being flowers forget everything
but the bright desire to bloom
to spread a sweet fragrance across every shore
and share their beauty
unabashed
across continents and time
to revel in each bright new moment
their entire lives;
devoted to the seasons of love
we lost some mighty bright flowers this week.
let's not let the light of their love diminish
or the gifts of their flowering hearts
be forgotten.
rest in peace

be a seed of love

Love blossoms in your beautiful words and lovely pink blooms. :)

This could be the magnolia in my back yard... I am imagining you here, next to my labyrinth, you and I and our haiku circle dancing around the blooms... I will think on this "memory" so much that in time... it will be true! I too am thinking about the precociousness of living like this with such passion,
no matter what... love you. XO

Love should rule the world. Perhaps some day it will. With people like you, and thoughts and words like yours, love travels.

May we all appreciate those beautiful blooming hearts all around us. Never let them be forgotten.

love rules in your heart; may it spread to those who visit here and they pass it along!

Darkness holds no fear when joy abides. Thinking, as well, of the tragedy of these young lives cut short. And also of Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield.

The thing about seeds is, they die...

Imagine what the world would be like if we ALL decided to bloom!

Very beautiful, Rebecca, as the tribute to the four killed this week.

we teach our youngest youth, to use their words, and still we have so many broken adults. may we be diligent in teaching love, in reducing stress, in sharing kindness, in creating community. the answer really is in love xxxx. Blessings on your day.
