"Anything Good in life comes from love." ~Haifa Bint Kadi

Mosaic Poem

Mosaic Heart

A fully living heart
In the passing of time
And love, and loss
Breaks and stretches
Heals and shatters.
Striated, scarred,
Misshapen, resilient
Until finally it assimilates
Its wounds and callouses
Into character.
A rare glimpse of this mosaic
(deep in eyes opened in surrender)
Reveals the soul's holy icon
Inscribed on the flesh
Inspired by love
Born of attachment and release
Colored in bits of joy and pain.

    And Love gifts us with everything that is Good! How blessed we are if we have eyes to see, ears to hear, hearts to feel, voices to praise, and presence to be and wonder. Thank you Liz.

    Touched by the images within the video and that your reflection on mosaics is a mosaic in itself.
    Your image is of a heart encircled with Love, flowing gently back and forth… (at least to me)

    What a lover Haifa is. Fascinating to listen to her speak as she labors amid her masterpiece of renewal. Yes, anything good in life comes from love. What a lover you are, Liz, to create your own mosaic and to pass beauty on to us.
