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.

Safe travels to you Rebecca. If anyone can help, it's the awesome minds centered at Duke. I hope you find a little time while there to visit the beautiful and peaceful campus landscape. Praying for you to be strong. xo
