Haiku My Heart - Want

DSC039561

What do I want ? I

Want breath, nourishment, shelter,

love, sunshine, kindness…

DSC039562

I want purpose, art,

You, your arms, laughter. In truth,

I want for nothing.

(This haiku and art journal page were inspired by my friend Elena, who asks some very fine questions.)

I am so grateful to be able to say that in this moment, I want for nothing.

I have everything I need to survive, to thrive, to live this precious life fully.

How amazing is that ?

Counting those blessings today…

Every day…

***********************

Off to an Artsy Friends sleepover tonight.

Maybe some art, definitely some dominos and margaritas !

Back home late tomorrow to batten down the hatches with my Love and our furry kids.

Go easy, Miss Irene…

Light and Love for your weekend, Beautiful Ones.

    Beautiful... I hope Irene does go easy on you. Living on the gulf coast of Florida, I've been through several hurricanes. They are no fun... Stay safe Luv!

    I love your art work Kim. I am a firm believer in the power of gratitude. Realizing that you want for nothing and being grateful for all that you have is not just a gesture, it is a mindset that puts you on a different path. I see what you are doing and the energy that it brings into your life. Thank you for showing the way.
    Peace and Light,
    Noelle
