Haiku My heart

 
 
I was a stranger
compassion welcomed me in
 haiku's loving arms

 
 
May we always remember to extend kindness to strangers.
To see everyone and everything
including ourselves
as holy.

    Love the flower photos. In that second one, the flower on top has an eye looking at me. Kinda looks like an eye of an alien, or at least how they are depicted, all shiny and clear.
    Your haiku is spot on. Treated everyone as we want to be treated, with respect and kindness, is a key to a life well lived. What goes around comes around. Very good to be back and paying your pages a visit. I've missed you.

    Peace

    welcome strangers because you know not when you entertain angels...at least that's the essence of a scripture verse! what spectacular captures of the lilies!

    We are all holy. If only everyone thought that way. Lovely photos and words. I too feel accepted into haiku's embrace.

    I like to remember that everyone has their crosses to bear and that we have no idea what others are going through...therefore we need to be kind to strangers. Thanks for the sweet reminder!

    Thanks for the reminder, now I'm transfixed by the 'alien eye' Spado noticed or maybe it's the eye of 'an angel'! Who knows but it will be a reminder to treat as one wants to be treated as 'holy'!

    Have a lovely weekend. x

    dear gemma,
    your wisdom is woven from the heart of compassion. seeing each person we meet through the eyes of a mother who loves her child is to live in peace, acceptance and forgiveness.

    Beautiful Haiku. Love your photo and your words are heartfelt. Thanks Gemma, I am a little better. Still a lot of bruises and knees are very swollen, but tomorrow will be better. Have a great week.
