Slowing Down the Aging Process

What a beautiful picture, Karima. When we are here for each other, then we fulfill the commandment of love.

You take delight in beauty which reflects you. You have mentioned beautiful loving eyes ... this is soul touching, soul communication .... wow, this reminds me of a poem by Tim "Soul touching". Must see if I can find it.

Be fine, my friend!
I love you. Margherita

Found it on chopra: Tim Cannon's poem

"Soul touching"


Together,
Yet absent of form,
Your presence,
It illuminates,
As an aura,
Images a flame,
It surrounds,
And enters my heart.
Soul touching,
Each other,
Releasing,
To one another,
Our spirits,
Unite,
Ascend in eternity,
As a fragrant essence,
Unseen,
Awakening,
All senses within,
Heaven is this tender love.

Always can we be with another, whether it is our creator, a friend or companion, a loved one that has passed on;
Through soul touching you can feel the presence, just close your eyes…

I’m open to love
my heart invites you to dance
come share my delight


senryu by Margherita

you reached out your hand when I needed
I feel this love and also gratitude
for being blessed in this way.

The poem is so beautiful! Thank you Margeritha, thank you Tim



Good night, tomorrow work again,,,,,,

Love,

Karima

Thank you Lilie, Margherita and Tim.
You touch me deeply with your grace and beauty.

Soon I am going to leave the fields of snow
and dip into the waters of a warmer place.

May the Hawaiian Goddess Laka embrace you with love and light.
****************

O Goddess Laka!
O wildwood bouquet, O Laka!
O Laka, queen of the voice!
O Laka, giver of gifts!
O Laka, giver of bounty!
O Laka, giver of all things!

Hawaiian prayer to the Goddess laka

I will send you the warm rays of the beautiful Hawaiian sunset

Wish you a wonderful well deserved
vacation,Inda....I have enjoyed so much
our playing...



with Love

Lilie

I sure wish I was coming along. I might even go for a swim.

Sue

Sue, what do you say about more playing? Are you without both Vicky and Inda? In Sweden there is a saying...when the cat is away the rats dance....

And in Italy we say: Quando non c'è il gatto, i topi ballano ... exact translation. Today this was not the case ... a busy day back at work, like you dear Lilie ...
but I wish Inda a wonderful time in Hawaii!
Tired now.
Hugging you all and going to sleep ... hmmm DREAM ...

Love, Margherita

I’m open to love
my heart invites you to dance
come share my delight


senryu by Margherita

Thank you Everyone for your kind wishes. I had a very busy day as well and tomorrow will be even more hectic. Got to get things done before the mice begin to play

Now I will also do this:

I love you, Inda

I will have to travel very early tomorrow, so I wish you sweet dreams dear friends. Coming back at the very end of the month.

Sending you all much love, Inda

Just here for a moment to say hello .... it feels a little bit lonely ...

Have a beautiful week-end all.

Love, Margherita

I’m open to love
my heart invites you to dance
come share my delight


senryu by Margherita

I agree a little bit lonely...also a time of rest



Love to you
and a pleasant week-end

Lilie

Island dreams by Jim Warren

Thinking of Inda on the island ... sending her love.

Dear Karima, yes we do need to rest, to sit with a book, to think, just to BE.


Another senryu for you:


Today we shall rest
to absorb beauty and light:
to just love our life


Hugs. Margherita

yes, lets send love to Inda in Hawaii



Love,

Lilie

Haiku is a Japanese verse form that relies on brevity and simplicity to convey its message. It is usually three lines of five, seven, and five syllables, and frequently includes natural images or themes. It is believed to have been first written in the seventeenth century and is based on a Zen Buddhist philosophy of simplicity and the idea of perfection that excludes the extraneous.

This is the very brief explanation of haiku on www.poetry.com where they run a daily contest of haikus. I participate quite often and I have once won the mousepad with a haiku I submitted (it's a question of luck though, hundreds and hundreds of senryus/haikus are sent everyday, but it's fun!). With the following senryu (they actually call haiku everything, even if to be called a haiku, there must be a seasonal element in the verse - all other compositions are called senryu):

Life flows placidly
we have the choice to be free
to cry or to laugh



Have a beautiful Sunday, dear Karima.
Love and light. Margherita

Japaneese influence

Thank you Margeritha for the telling of the haiku..are the rules very specific?



Love,
Lilie
