Maybe I've mentioned this before, if not here, then somewhere. I have recently developed an affinity for the Saints, especially the artwork as seen in paintings and sculptures. When your page opened, I was drawn in totally! There is also a greater connection as I had an experience earlier this week that involved a Native American Spiritual Elder. Itv was a healing ceremony and my own heart was involved. This haiku has special meaning for me. Yes, the heart does bleed, it must, sometimes, to cleanse and rejuvenate. The pain is needed when your thoughts remember another time. It is a connection. It's good stuff!
I have read it that a a cut in heart makes space for Happiness and joy to stay.. so yes, bleed it must.. some..sometime.. its OK..very well written.. liked it..
I haven't stopped in in awhile and OMGosh MM, look at that BIG BOY Owen!!! He is so big and handsome!! It should come as no surprise, really, since Baby C is the same age, and also just getting WAY too big too fast :( It really isn't fair how fast they grow.
I hope all is well with you - I am going to try to do a little catching up with you some day, and maybe even post a little update of my own with a recent pic of the boys.
If blessed in much love
Hmm.
ReplyDeleteI recently read that for people who work out, muscles develop by tearing and regrowing together.
And the heart is a muscle too... so it makes sense that love must hurt.

Peace.
The heart is strong though. Take good care of it.

ReplyDeleteYou've done it again -- haiku'd your heart. Beautiful.
ReplyDeletetrue enough, but worth the risk...
ReplyDeleteVery tender. Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day, Boonie
But oh to have the chance to have your heart broken!
ReplyDeleteSo poignant and true. Beautiful.

Oh the eyes of the saints - so otherworldly and yet knowing. Knowing the fullness and breaking of hearts.
ReplyDeleteYes. Love makes us vulnerable to pain. Yet to live a life without it is unthinkable. Thanks for writing your heart into these few words.
ReplyDeleteSo true. Good afternoon. I missed good morning today.
ReplyDeleteLove you so!
