when i woke this morning i had no idea how my day would unfold. i've been caring for my mother
since the first of june as she recovers from pneumonia.
it's been overwhelming at times but we have soldiered on; one day at a time.
this morning took a somber turn that landed us in the ER for endless tests and long long hours.
i am home now and my mother has been admitted to the hospital.
i am dog tired and crawling off to bed so i may start again tomorrow by her side.
friends. i have no haiku in me tonight.
just a reminder to love straight from your heart.
it is my hope that you will link in with your always welcome haiku.
in a more peaceful moment
i will savor each offering and revel in your beauty.
xoxo

My haiku that came to me this afternoon was about the dry desert blooming... when there is nothing, something always comes, it is the law of nature. So in this fertile space that you leave for us, your haiku is written... it is there in the photo, in your care of your mother, in your sweet heart, and that you hold this space for us, it is there that those seventeen syllables are eloquently penned... I will read them over and over and send my love continually for your heart and your mother's healing. So much love to you my dear friend. XO

It is true, as Lea says: "When there is nothing, something always comes." May that something surprise you with joy today.

Hospitals are so boring and scary at the same time. Do take care of yourself as well as your Mother. Best of care will hopefully help her along to good health. Prayers...for both of you.

Dear Haiku Circle, Rebecca has asked that we use the July 7th haiku for our new July 15th haiku posts. She is still with her mother and is unable to make a new post. I've been thinking of her all week and all the more as we gather together to share our small words that mean so much...

Love and light to you and yours, Rebecca. Feel the hugs, embrace the heart.

I am just reading last week's post. I pray for you every day any way so now I will include your momma. You mean so much to all of us. May your mother get well, and please take care to rest whenever you get the chance. Sending heartfelt hugs to you and her.
