wind carries
the scent of heather
while we wait
where peace resides
where silence sings

In my fantasy tour of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, seeing the heather is top on my list. Seeing whippets running free would be grand, too.

God, Xenia, I am so touched. I really love the photos that go with this tanka — the purple to me is the color of Spirit (and your dogs add a dimension of grace and joy!!). When I read the poem, I came into such stillness inside, where the peace resides in me. THANK YOU for contributing this to Forgiving Fridays! I’ll highlight it in my blog post tomorrow and am
excited to do that. You are awesome. Blessings to you, Elvor, and Pearl – Debbie

Thank you so much for your kind words Debbie and I am delighted to contribute. The leaves are still green here and with the purple heather it creates this lovely energy for connecting the crown chakra with the heart chakra, for bringing that connection with Spirit into the heart. Blessings to you and much love from all of us here ☺💜 xxx
