Into The Universe
sorenbarrett said:

Breathing helps center us, calm us and is a method used by different groups for meditation, yoga etc.. In fact it is so basic that the verb, to be, derives from a time that was so ancient that the only way to express that one was alive was to say that it breathed. Therefore to be meant to breath.

A splendid Haiku Bella the perfect 575 .......... :)
indeed, that is all it took, the grain of a single thought, well planted and nurtured, whether by accident or design from which all subsequent things have taken root, blossomed and fruited .. Neville

Profound and deep, but don\'t pant too deep or it may never come up. So true though, having taught in the past I have watched certain seed come up and this is very gratifying. You are right about planting weed though.

Absolute power therein lies in words that are of the poetic kind.... perhaps that it why prophecy, Scripture, hexes and spells are all poetically rendered. Perhaps, just a stray thought. Thanks Bella.

Doggerel Dave said:

Have a good trip, Bella. Visited the falls from the Canadian side early 2000\'s, Boat trip - crazy but fun. Amazing the falls receive only approx half the Niagara river\'s full flow...

Each Night
arqios said:

Both healthy and beautiful, this \'routine\' for lack of more elegant word. Nothing like going to bed happy. Peaceful night air, now that is a faithful and comforting companion! I can go back to specific nights just before bed and the peace washes almost as if it was those very same nights. Thanks for sharing.

Good write Bella. I went outside at night but fell down a hole! I was sleep-walking! Doh! (I made that up. lol).

Wonderful words Bella, it sounds like a super idea to step outside and look at life and count your blessings before going to bed.

Each Night
Neville said:

You are not alone my friend, I do exactly the same thing each night ..

Your words today have a timeless feel to them and I am sure will also have a universal appeal .. They also remind me so much of the embroidered words on an old tapestry that used to be a family heirloom but went missing soon after my maternal grandmother passed .. So thank you for that too x

A complete experience, Bella - no trouble to sleep soundly that night..? Or any other, I believe.

A beautiful verse, so full of peace and calm. It brought back so many childhood memories and the feeling of being tucked into bed.

A perfectly postulated prayer, poem and would be panacea all rolled into what should be a single universal mantra .............. Neville

Let Me Be
Rocky Lagou said:

The graceful parallelism in this piece calls to mind the biblical Beatitudes. The meaning, for me, goes so beyond though. Like it\'s apparently \"simple\" and \"trivial.\" But there are so many out there who can\'t even experience the wonder it is to have all 5 senses. I\'m enamored by your words as always, thanks Bella. Your poise is incomparable.
