Haiku My Heart - The Helmet
The degree of hardness we encase ourselves in
applies to the speed we expect to control but
sometimes control is not ours.
The Helmet
Hardness encases
Durable flesh, blood, and bone
Implements of care

Cracked. Broken. Yet complete.
Message sent and lost.

Haiku My Heart - For the heartache of a friend
Tears, like flowers, fall
Lightly drop, no harm etching
Except in heartache

Black and White plus One and a haiku
Withdrawal again
Two swipes, deeply sinking
Rose dies, flood of tears
My new camera, a little Nikon Coolpix, has a built-in editor for creating
artistic images including a B&W plus One Color option. It does a fairly decent job but
what it really reminded me of was that PicMonkey has such an option as well and it gives
you a bit more control over the area of color to be retained.
My dear friend, Sr. Darlene, sent me the above book this past week. I decided to pull out
some of the lovely reds. I'll be starting this spiritual exercise soon.
Sebie likes playing the open and close the door game. I open and he closes. Today he
wouldn't let me in even a little bit. Wanting to know what was going on on
the other side of the door, I stuck my arm in and snapped the picture. The
health blush of pink on his arm pops from the otherwise b/w image. He's such
a little rascal.
Cafe La Mo always has such pretty little vignettes to discover as the seasons change.
This is a left over from Valentine decorations. It's March now. Can anyone say . . .
SHAMROCK?
Monday I discovered a wee private garden behind the church at All Saints
University Parish. It serves as a memorial to Fr. Richard Forti who died in
late 1986 or early 1987. He was a very popular priest who was attached to
the university's Newman Center.
Sacred Heart of Jesus. Simple. Clear. Message received.
Blessing to all of you as you move into your weekend.

Simple Pleasures - Haiku My Heart
Walk. Talk. Thrive, my friend
Simple pleasures abounding
Life lived gracefully
One of the pleasures of living in Turlock is its charming Main Street. For 8-10 blocks, a person can amble alone, or with a friend chatting, and enjoy good coffee, good food, antiques, boutiques, a to-die-for fabric shop, books, flowers, up-cycled furnishings, and the arts.
Today's simple pleasure is from #farmhouseturlock. I love this little coin purse, because, as many of you know, #coffee is my drug of choice.
Locals, if you haven't visited yet, be sure to drop in at 311 Main St. And, while you are there, be sure to sample their Beekman1802 hand lotion. My personal preference is Ylang Ylang & Tuberose.

Haiku A Carol
As we approach Christmas, I am joining with Gillena and others today to Haiku a Carol at Lunch Break. Please come visit us. Peace be with you.
Silent, holy night,
Calm, bright, young virgin Mother
Heavenly child. Peace
Heavenly child. Peace
Shepherds shrink, sight unknown
Radiant beams soothe
Radiant beams soothe
Showing Son of God’s pure light
Transcendent glory
Transcendent glory
Exalted, redeeming grace
Star ablaze, streaming light
Star ablaze, streaming light
With the angels let us sing.
Alleluia psalms

Haiku My Heart
Such a mundane poem
Insight and discovery
Need not be present
Oft mundane is good
Abiding in what is known
Life in full focus
Peace and stillness bear
Expectations of repose
I sleep in cool bliss
Challenge from above
Splash of red, this is all mine
Dare to enter in
