Peace came upon me…

Today’s August Break Prompt : Peace

Nothing more peaceful than my beach.

It was a beautiful visit.

Quiet.

Not too windy.

Deliciously warm water.

Nature’s artwork all around me.

Yup.

Peace.

Hope your Wednesday had some sweet peace in it, Beautiful Ones.

Haiku My Heart–A Haiku for Joe

A Haiku for Joe

A weaver of tales

He made deep marks on this world

With his heart story.

Man of Peace, my Friend,

Now makes his journey onward

Flies on wings of love.

 

My friend, Joe Spado, died on Monday, December 2nd, 2013.

We connected through Haiku My Heart, lovingly hosted each Friday by Rebecca of recuerda mi corazon.

We never met in person but I know him by heart.

A beautiful work of art by him hangs in my bedroom window, catching dreams and shining with love and care.

I feel as though I have a new guardian spirit hovering in that gentle space beyond.

I know your new travels on the wind will be gentle and peaceful, Man.

I am sending love and comfort to the hearts of those you have left on this side.

Thanks for what your Beautiful Spirit brought to my world.

Love & Peace, Man.

Haiku My Heart–Altar of my Heart

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.

Haiku My Heart–A Joyful Wish

In Joy, I wish you

Love, Light, Peace in all seasons,

And for all of time.

Merry Christmas, Beautiful Ones !

Rocking the Beach on a November Sunday

We were blessed with a really warm November Sunday yesterday.

It was about 65 degrees in the afternoon.

Perfect for one last rock gathering before winter and a sweet visit to my favorite beach with my favorite guy!

This is the sea wall, where all the good rocks are.

See our special Rock Fairy buckets ?

Keeping it clean…

While it was pretty warm outside, that water looked pretty chilly !

Not too chilly for a couple of “Sharks” apparently !

That’s what we call those kooky surfers in wet suits !

It was a nice time.

Really good for bringing me to where I need to be inside.

I am so grateful to live so close to this special place that brings me such peace.

And to my sweet Man for hanging there with me.

I have a feeling that I may just need to keep revisiting that place in my mind as we head into this busy time of year!

Happy Monday, Beautiful Ones !

I hope you find some places of Peace to hang out in too !
