Dear bits and pieces
Gathered along the journey
Altar of my Heart
*********************
This week seems to have been gathering intensity every day.
Perhaps because of the blue moon tonight ?
Whatever the reason, finding moments of stillness and peace has been a challenge.
One thing that worked beautifully was taking time to recreate my altar in my studio.
New space, new items, and some old things revisited.
The act of placing each item brings a calm I appreciate.
The end result is like a deep cleansing breath.
In this world of go-go-go, do-do-do, and the rush to finish,
taking quiet moments to feed the spirit is so essential.
I am grateful for my little Altar of the Heart.
Happy Friday, Beautiful Ones !
I hope you get to celebrate this long Labor Day weekend
with some good rest for the weary soul !
For more haiku magic, visit the gang at recuerda mi corazon every Friday.
That is a beautiful altar for your beautiful heart. You make the lives of all you touch better with your words of peace and love. You are appreciated. Good sound advice in this Haiku today, to keep an altar for our hearts.
ReplyDeleteMuch Peace
Lovely words and pic.
ReplyDeleteFriday again - already! I mean, I "knew" it was Friday but I hadn't realized it yet. ha! ha! I'm going to go soak my head.

So lovely these objects of your heart, and the words to share them... the best of blue moon Fridays to you Kim!
ReplyDeleteYour altar speaks of inner peace and that space where you can release that deep breath and take in a new one at a much slower pace. Enjoy the long weekend chica! May it be peaceful and filled with bliss ♥
ReplyDeleteI felt that yesterday when I took my camera for an aimless walk to no where. I like this idea of creating an alter of my heart! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteAltar making is very similar to me...quiet time, reflecting on each item's story, placing each one in just the right spot...and then gazing upon the finished product with new eyes and memories. Lovely post!
ReplyDeletesuch a lovely 'altar'....seems any bits and collections I have become dust collectors, but that's just my laziness!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful alter and a lovely post. Quiet time is good for the soul-especially when spent in the studio. Happy weekend to you!
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring and zenful... Hope your weekend is the same!
ReplyDeleteThe new alter is so peaceful. Enjoy the weekend and the blue moon, and maybe some sun and sand at Hampton? xox
ReplyDeleteMy Queen has a beautiful altar; I am so glad she took the time to spend some quiet and meditative time and will have a place to go to to enjoy the stillness. xoO
ReplyDeleteGoodday Kim, Queen of Arts, I ran into your weblog through Rebecca's Haiku My Heart. And I was surprised to see the 'richness' of your art and the spiritual and peaceful radition it gave to me. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI am a haiku poet and I am just writing haiku (and sometimes a novel). I have shared one of my haiku with Haiku My Heart.
Your haiku is nice and very strong in the imagery. Well done.
Thank you for sharing.

ReplyDeleteI'm all stressed with a 'weary heart' lately, I think I should build me an altar 'cause only the way you talk about it makes me feel calm(er)... thank you my dearest! Enjoy your long weekend!
