the simple things, like falling into the arms of your mother.
holding on. no! clinging to her until you become one.
experience the healing power of love. swoon!
~
strength through unity. united we stand.
i will never forget you, haiti. when your heart aches, i feel it.
my arms raised toward the heavens, prayers of supplication.
plenty have not food, water, nor a place to still call home, but
love. yes! love. it keeps the enduring spirit flowing and not even an
earthquake is strong enough to break it.
~
tomorrow is promised to no one. i
heard my grandmother say
i understand the meaning, on this very day.
nice to see so many of you, sprinkling gift of jewels,
giving love notes to one another in
such a simple way.
~
you. inspire. me.
one. love.

Oh my gosh, your words, so beautiful. Your photo, so beautiful!
Wonderful list, and I love that you love so much.
Can't forget Haiti, no way.
I too believe that we are never promised tomorrow, and I have to keep reminding myself of that...I want my actions to reflect that belief.

'falling into the arms of your mother' is the most simple and precious thing in the whole world!

You've given a whole new meaning to me about simple things. I'm going to ponder today.

Beautiful words.... oh yes!
I feel so much love and warmth from this photo and from your words!
My daughter asked me how God could let these bad things happen...i had no answer for that, but I did say these bad things give us all a chance to come together and help others, to feel love! Thank you for this and for being a force of good!
Blessings to you!

How did I know I would be deeply moved when I came here to read your list???
The photograph -- beautiful. It truly touches my heart.
And your grandmother's wisdom...tomorrow is promised to no one. And so we make this day the one that counts. Thank you for the beautiful reminder.
And yes, Haiti we love you so very much.
Thank you for this love note and joy, Se'Lah--Love you :o) ((HUGS))
When I saw that photo, I don't know what happened inside of me but I will try to explain it. It's like that's all I needed to see and your words acommpany the photo was confirmation that JAH breaths us and so have no other choice but to love and be love! I love you!
Haiti is raising! Haiti is strong! I sing this affirmative prayer!
The older we are the more we hold on to our mothers. I miss mine as she's in India.
Thank you for peeping into my blog Se'Lah
great image. nothing like a hug of a mother.
Love the photo. Love the simple things. Since Love is so simple, I wonder why so many find it so hard to do....
One Love.
I saw this image on LUT and got choked up- there is nothing like a mothers hug- beautiful!
Lovely thoughts you have ... there is nothing like the hug of a mother.
There is no one who loves so unconditionally as a mother! Wonderful photos and heartfelt list. I am learning so much by reading each and every participant's words.
Love your heart.

I so loved the part about mother-daughter love. (Missing my mama, who is far away, and I think I will give her a call right after I finish this comment.)
Your list touches my heart. I believe in love. It is within us all.
What a wonderful list. I loved the photo!
Thanks so much for stopping by.

This is one of my favorite things. And, I'm pretty sure that Gift of Jewels will become so. Hello, my friend.
I found you through Christina. I've fallen in love with the picture at the top of this post; it makes my heart just sing.
Beautiful post, Selah. Makes me grateful I still have my mom.
I like you banner as well.
Beautiful, just beautiful!
Love your photo, Se'Lah, and your simple things are simply beautiful.
Love and the kindness of other give us strength to continue when we feel all is lost. The people of Haiti need all our love.

I love the picture! I love the thought of clinging to your mother until you become one. My mother is gone now, so I can no longer do this. what I can do is cling to my daughters and granddaughters and enjoy that shared love. I think I will be visiting your blog often!

Beautiful! LOVE that photo, perfection! Se'lah, so glad I've met you through Christina!
