tiny holy buds
dreaming just below the ice
longing for the sun
on the shoulder of another frigid weekend;
paring down our winter hearts hungry for spring.
morning ponds just outside the window
cast a frozen still life.
until the sun and one hundred waterbirds
rake this frozen slate of morning
into a shimmering
faceted dance of perfect light.
everything changes....
sometimes you turn around and hardly
recognize yourself in the passing mirror.
all the more reason to move in kindness.
choose with compassion.
be a part of something
larger than
longing.
please visit each other and leave a few warm words.
it's been a long winter and people everywhere
are hungry for light.
XO

Be a part of something larger than the longing... choose with compassion, with kindness, this is my daily prayer and your words and the thought of your warm embrace... I can feel the stirring of new life, deep beneath the cold and dark blanket of this seemingly forever winter... Thank you Rebecca, for setting the table for us all to gather and reminding us of the coming spring... XOXOXO

How nice to read your warm words this morning. We had Spring-like weather here in holland and today will probably be another day with temperatures above 10 (celsius) - seasons come and go and we keep on photographing, dreaming, and writing haiku. Thank you for always being here to welcome me Rebecca! Big hug!

Not only are those buds longing for the sun this old body is longing for it too. It is cold here too. Have a good weekend despite the cold.

My dearest darling wordsmith, my own words fade into the background when compared to yours, they paint pictures so vivid, so enchanting, so motivating and of love....I'm hovering just now but will land soon I think!.....xxx

Rebecca, I know you've testified before Congress in the past. Are you using your story in letters and calls to the Arizona delegation? Can we all use it to exhort Congress not to gut the ACA, but to strengthen it?
