Haiku my Heart #33 ~ Lessons for Grace

What the bird told me....
about both pleasure and pain,
like petals and thorns
the rootstock's the same,
to contemplate sweet pickings,
there is a need to beware,
thorns have sharp edges,
handle petals with great care.

'dedicated to all blossoming relationships'

'an immersion of the heart'

PS ~ my syllable sums have gone a bit awry here,
hey ho, I never was good at maths,
and I have flu ;~)

Multiple entendre' in this. It speaks the truth that most learn by doing. Then we teach others, but they insist on learning by doing. No one listens to such sound sage advice, but there it is, right there in front of us. Wonderful Ms. Foxy.

Peace

"the rootstock's the same"

Words worth pondering for a lifetime...

A lesson to be learned. Love all the images ... pictures and words.

Reminded me of my DD! She admits to always learning everything the hard way... Contributes to making her who she is though!
Lovely words and pictures, thanks for sharing! =)

What you say is so true...and who cares that you took some artistic license! Feel netter soon.
Hope you are feeling better, but in the meantime, you mustered your energy to do a series of beautiful photos and words.

the flu is NO FUN. i would say it qualifies as a major thorn! hope you feel better soon. and i can relate to the bittersweetness of this life with its many troubles... may we always have the grace to see and smell the beauty of the roses, despite their thorns...

Continuum

A Continuum ~> continual sequence of ~> elemental change ~> By far this is the most difficult post written by myself, ever. I have not visited this place for sometime... I have been 'lying low' as an old friend used to put it, not low through depression or anything like that but since my love passed away parts of my known world have passed too. I have difficulty recognizing the landscape around me, I'm lying low so that I can absorb some of the new terrain. I am still quite dizzy, it's going to take some time... Much of what I wrote about here in this space would involve a brief glimpse of 'my love' and our life together.

Warrior Woman Detour

Yearning clear blue skies to brighten the road for ease, to step light of heart... Detour intersect is warrior woman's path she must tread alone, her only companion Om lifts a weighted heart... feeling vibrational warmth, she lights momentum... My heart is weighed down at the moment, we are waiting for scan results, my love has been in constant debilitating pain since before Christmas, I'm having a nasty IBS flare-up, I'm doing warrior woman work! I am grateful for this Friday morning ritual ~ Haiku my Heart, it is a wonderful distraction from the everyday, focusing on and fitting feelings into 575 syllables... Thanks to our Rebecca for hosting ~> Haiku my Heart Recuerda mi Corazon
