This is exquisite, Kirsten.
Wow!
utterly present, thankyou
beautiful . . .
Hearing the beat of life in ourselves does bring us back to the life force essence. Simply, beautifully penned.
Thanks so much to all for your enthusiastic comments here. This one still touches a sore point for me . . .
We are close to you…
This beautifully captures that feeling, Kristen. . . I've been there . . . and "touches a sore point" probably literally as well as emotionally. Thank you.
Very poignant, Kirsten.
Perfect
Good and real.
Love it. I should have written one on my brain MRI a couple of weeks ago. It's like seeing into you. Very nice.
I put it at the top of my favorites.
good luck, Kirsten !
Excellent! This one has the strongest feeling in a haiku that I've read in a long time!
Perfect Kristen.
This one certainly captures the tension involved. Getting down to essentials a long way further than 'I am what I eat'. The brevity and the one line form suits the content very well.
