lovely, and happiest anniversary to you both!
May Fields of Poppies and the indulgence of delirium in knowing many years of satisfying Love complete each of you on this your glorious summer anniversary of marriage to a wonderful partner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let the vow of this day keep itself wildly and wholly
Spoken and silent, surprise you inside your ears
Sleeping and waking, unfold itself inside your eyes
Let its fierceness and tenderness hold you
Let its vastness be undisguised in all your days
~Excerpt from "Blessing for a Wedding" by Jane Hirschfield

xo,
Noelle
I just love what Noelle said about your haiku. Like Ramesh, I'm not exactly sure of the emotions you were feeling when walking by a poppy field, but given it is your anniversary (happy, happy), the word opium (Noelle's delirium) somehow seems key.

LOVE the idea of "... too many years to count.." heavenly sorta love where one is overwhelmed and mezzmerized by that love in a field of poppies... is it sorta like in the wizard of oz when they all were running toward reaching their goal and suddenly felt a feeling.... oh yeah!!!

Morning has Broken

Yesterday the black dog came to visit me, the same black dog who  used to visit Winston Churchill. When my daughter came around, she could  see the black dog had turned up too and  that I was completely at his mercy. She made her leave with a simple kiss and goodbye,  "hope he goes soon", I nodded in agreement. For when he's around he completely  demands my attention and there's no shaking him loose! On retiring I sternly told the black dog I didn't understand the reason for his visit and that I thought I had sat with him for long enough  and to be gone in the morning! *** I've not seen him so far, this morning thank goodness !!! It is the beginning of a brand new day,  I am grateful for each day of my life...   I was at a funeral on Friday,  to say we'd anticipated a sad day all turned out most beautifully.... my favourite hymn was sung 'Morning has Broken' On this brand new day I'm sitting here tapping the k...

My Silken Altar

The reflective image below is one taken of my south facing window,  which is more like an altar to me because of the ever changing light that allows for embracing the moments of silent connection and praise. I take many photographs from this window as I marvel at the sun's energy  to illuminate or in this case reveal through shadows and reflections. This image has been sitting in my file for sometime, it has a hidden message for me that  I knew would one day surface...    Heart broken open by the mystery of you... love stitches together.  Gentle love rides pain like silken thread slips through jute spring balm for raw edge. Stitch with silken love the polarities of life  embrace the mystery... Sending to Rebecca for healing... Haiku my Heart Recuerda mi Corazon
