Stumbling Toward Ecstasy



Watching the couple
officially embarking on life together,
surfing on a tsunami of love and emotion.



Tears in their eyes.



Hearts on their sleeves.



Hand in hand. 


Stumbling toward ecstasy.

My Lady Haiku,
the day the bride and groom wept,
were you weeping too?

Very beautiful photographs, Meri and sentiments as well. A fitting phrase for newlyweds. I am wondering who this couple might be and how they are connected to you? Thanks for sharing.

Ecstasy doesn't get a whole lot better than this. May they live happily to see their children's, children's, children's children.

Hey All: I'll let this couple know you're sending them good wishes. The groom is a family law attorney and has just joined the bride's mother's law firm as an associate. The bride's mother is my treasured friend (and former law partner). I've known the bride since she was about 8 or 9, and though she has "real" aunties, I get the status of "honorary auntie." Some of you may remember my post in Feb 09 about going shopping with the bride for her gown. The wedding was in April of this year and was quite an extravaganza.

And yes, Magical Mystical Teacher: I wept too. Not only in the sanctuary, but earlier in the hotel, when Andre was standing at the bottom of the stairs and Jessica came floating down in her beautiful gown......and Andre started spilling tears. Not a dry eye in the house!

Haiku My Heart: Basho for Bonnie

Bonnie of Original Art Studio recently bashed what she refers to as pseudo-haiku , saying she refuses to leave comments on blogs that post them. She says, "A haiku true to its original form  should contain  a seasonal reference, not be subjective,  and contain a line that juxtaposes in clear  contrast to the other two. " `  She goes on, "Rarely do blog-posted haiku  even meet one of the criteria, let alone all three." So this week, I'm posting a haiku  from one of the masters. Does this haiku measure up?  "A Fairy Moon and a Lonely Shore" - Matsumoto Print # 39, Matsumoto Do, Ltd. Tokyo thought to be pre-1915 Japanese woodcut print Autumnal full moon the tides slosh and foam coming in - Bashö Haiku My Heart

Haiku My Heart: May the Fourth Be With You

Haiku My Heart i invite you to imagine living in peace one day at a time I have to admit that I'm finding it hard to celebrate the birthday of my country having declared its independence from Mother England, when the country was founded on institutionalized slavery, the idea that white men were created equal but but black men were less than and women weren't even considered. We tend to glorify the "all men are created equal" phrase without looking at the reality. We can do better. We must.
