recuerda mi corazon

haiku my heart grateful

 

like whipped cream on pie

gratitude sweetening my thoughts

soft quiet sunrise

 

 

so simple, right?

to pause and breathe deeply into each unfolding moment

with a grateful heart.

truly this is the elixir, the best bite, the coveted 

heart of the heart of the heart

of a well lived life-

gratitude.

 

 

haiku my heart

thank you for sweetening my moment.

haiku my heart awakening

light seeks each of us

sews us seamlessly as one

bright awakening

 

 

 

at night we close our eyes to sleep,

 and gratefully-all our differences fade away.

from a distance 

it is impossible to know where one heart ends

and the next begins;

our dreaming selves love so freely

we are stars

lighting each others way.

 

when morning finds us

we place our feet on the floor of dawn

and walk towards the light.

true awakening 

resides in the heart of every moment

we allow ourselves to meet

again as one.

today-

be kinder.

listen more carefully.

ignite your heart.

choose love.

xoxo

 

haiku my heart

our love of small words

reminds us we are one.

haiku my heart

 

one moment spun gold

large and charitable sky

a history of love

 

 

sometimes we are nothing more

than a wing and prayer;

until the sky opens and time stands still.

what if each sunrise and sunset;

 every moment in between-

was a baptism of love 

 washing over us.

your kindness makes it so.

thank you.

so happy to be home

haiku my heart holy

  

one moment

illuminated

first snow falls

 

 

snow has a way of quieting an entire landscape

softening life's edges, illuminating light,

something as simple as 

falling

calls out holy.

 

 

haiku my heart

lovers of small words gather like light to 

illuminate the landscape of another.

 

friends- i have grown quiet here at

recuerda mi corazon.

early mornings 

when i loyally visited and chatted in bloglandia

long ago turned into mandatory

early morning physical therapy-

i work so hard to remain among the upright and ambulatory.

six months ago i committed to a clinical trial-

those with my genetic disease 

are few- ten thousand in the entire world.

most are far too ill to travel.

i joined this clinical trial in honor of them-

my hope

to forge a path to a brighter future.

it is 4 a.m. as i prepare 

for a return to Duke University 

and a diverse collection of beautiful minds

hoping to improve our future.

it is both arduous and invigorating.

i leave you with this first snow,

an early haiku

and a promise to visit you all

on sunday when i return 

home.
