After yesterday’s miles and moment, today bring another opportunity to let go and let God (like I could do anything else). Today my daughter is moving out of her college flat and we get to be the movers and the shakers. But first I begin the day, thankfully, in the early morning peace and quiet on the back porch. I am too tired for anything but for the Holy Spirit to speak to me in poetry, our original love language. These haiku were the balm and nourishment I needed.
“Haiku Ka-choo”
Morning Porch Peace
Breeze flows peace against
my skin an incence smoke of
tranquility cares
Birdsong awakens
my need for utter being
the vastness calls me
Sinking into now
stillness melts away the pain
busyness can bring
Breath cleans my palette
that I might taste the beauty
holiness reveals
Washing machine is
Beauty surrounds me.
rebooting our daily wears
waiting, a bliss break
Gratitude opens
the channel of love bringing
I get the first gift
But there’s so much more
to see, to do, to create
stillness powers this
My purchases give
me a hold on the days grace
now I taste yesterday
