    I love this, Janice. My grandson used to love tea time, choosing from my antique tea cups in the curio my great-aunt gave me. One day I invited a friend with her daughter and they had their tea party...4 and 5 years old, they were so adorable. You've brought back such fond memories with your haiku. Thank you :)

      It seems that most children play tea party. I loved my Aunt Lillis who was really my great aunt. She always had time to play with me at the little table and my tea set. Then a couple of years ago I did the same with my great niece. Good times and good memories for all. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your memory. Love from the Texas Two!

      As children we dream of the time to be grown. As elderly we spend time living in our memories.

Carpe Diem Theme Week #4 (5 & 6): Latifa Prayer lines 4 & 5 "I believe and I trust" & "I let go" Introduction: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Both lines are in the middle of the Latifa Prayer and that's no coincidence I think, because these two lines belong (in a way) together.  To "let go", you have to "believe and trust" that it will become okay. Without believe and trust you cannot let go. my response - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Have you ever done one of those team building exercises?  You know where you close your eyes and fall backwards into the waiting arms of the other members?  We did this with a group of kids we sponsored.  It went fine and no one hit the floor.  In my insane mind I decided to just randomly fall into my husbands arms.  He always caught me.  We were in our twenties at the time.  While visiting with our neighbors on their patio, once more I fell into my husband's waiting arms. ...

Carpe Diem's Theme Week 4: (1) Latifa Prayer, introduction This is a theme week at CDHK, Our host will guide us to explore the Latifa Prayer.  The following is the prayer. I exist I desire I hope I believe and I trust I let go I love I am prepared Our host has an explanation you can read here .  Or you can read this .  This is not a prayer or concept with which I am familiar.  It will be a real experience to learn about this approach to mediation, self growth and awareness.  My mind is still moving through Europe and the things we saw, the faith, the absence of faith, the grudges held over the centuries and the folks that just want peace. ancient walls covered in parables speak to those who see ©   Janice 'petra domina' Adcock Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for daily prompts on  CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI
