Unifying Gratitude

Dream seeds awaken:

Tears caress the still waters -

Human hearts bloom.

~ I am Marsha

A few days ago, I wrote a Haiku as part of the Blooming Humans 42 Day Experience: Dream Seeding a New Reality! Yesterday I found ‘Haiku For Japan’ at www.omtimes.com. It’s a Haiku for Japan poetry share and contest. So, I decided to write another Haiku poem because I enjoyed writing the first one so much!

It’s such a magical experience trying to put light, love, blessings, prayers and more into 17 syllables and 3 lines. It is also not as easy as it looks! I spent hours working on it and I just couldn’t get it right. Or at least it didn’t feel right to me. So as I lay in bed just before I fell asleep, it came to me. I didn’t want to get up and write it down, so I kept repeating it over and over until I fell asleep. Tonight I will have a pencil and paper by my bed side just in case I have another flash of Haiku, or insight, as the case might be.

I never really understood Haiku but now that I have an inkling of what it’s all about I am enamored. It’s beautiful as well as captivating and I hope to be inspired to write more.

Always with enchantment, and a blooming heart, I am Marsha!

"What we do goes far beyond suggestion or the projections of traditional spirituality. Life is a song, an arrangement from the Sacred Parents, who expect us to continue singing in harmony with All Our Relations. For this we develop our gifts to be used for the harmonious well being of all the levels of vibrational evolution."

- Grandfather Juan Ten Bears Yraceburu, aka Apache Juan

Haiku Gratitude

Dream Seeds root and shoot;

buds forming, drinking Love’s Light;

nascent Life grows on.

I think Haiku is beautiful to read. I didn’t think I could ever write it because I’ve never really been into poetry. I do have few favorite poems though. Write it? No I don’t think so...but never the less, with Stacey’s prompting, I created one today. I am amazed, I didn’t think I could do it.

A Blooming Human,

a Divine seed bursting through

to a new reality.

Many people have posted their Haiku on the Blooming Human’s facebook page and they are beautiful creations. I really enjoyed reading them. I know how much meaning they have to each person who wrote them because I can feel the power of all the dream seeds in each persons heart.

"Haiku is about inter-being. The word "interbeing" originated with the Vietnamese Zen monk Thich Nhat Hanh. It means: everything is in everything else. We experience this reality through mindfulness, through Being in the Here and Now. One life-energy is permeating everything.

Haiku means letting this energy/life/reality write itself.

Or, to put it simply: A haiku records an immediate experience of life. Haiku writing is sometimes called a way of life, rather than an art. It could also be described as a way of seeing, listening, being.

Because haiku writing is rooted in experience, the best time to compose a haiku poem is right after the event. But the experience comes first! Only afterwards, when it is recalled, as vividly as possible, we can put it into words that convey, as directly as possible, what happened."
