With Gratitude to HOTEL by Masticadores: Repost of The Sacred Corollary

Hotel de los corazones rotos–The hotel of broken hearts

Hello, my precious Readers. We stand at the threshold of a turning point. A time
when we recap the year’s harvest and start making plans for the new one, not far
behind. In a word, I’ll tell you how mine was: Phenomenal!

I had “issues” but what I’ll remember most are the instances that made my cup
overflow with gratitude. One worth mentioning is the inclusion of my words at
Masticadores. Thank you, Editora Barbara of the USA chapter. Thank you, Editora Michele and J. Re Crivello, editor-in-chief of Gobblers & Masticadores, Barcelona,
Spain, and The Hotel of Broken Hearts, for publishing my poem in your lovely
online literary magazines this year.

“No one who achieves success does so without
the help of others. The wise and confident
acknowledge this help with gratitude.”
~ Alfred North Whitehead.

I wish to end the year with ample mention of love–evergreen love.

A thousand sunsets
A thousand sunrises
Flooding the sky, the sea,
Virulent hearts and love
Seeds in hues of gold

A thousand sunsets
A thousand sunrises—
Eye of the sun, a slow sliding
Incandescence...

💞💞💞
Here are a couple of lines
some might remember from the first time
I shared this poem. I hope you’re piqued
by what you read and ask that you continue reading
at Hotel by Masticadores

To further enhance the post, I also shared a
Bette Midler’s YouTube video that’s
my all-time favorite love song. I hope you enjoy the poem
and Bette’s words. Find it at Hotel by Masticadores, please.

Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun’s love
In the spring becomes the rose
~ Bette Midler
The Rose (Live Divine Miss Millenium)

Thanks so much for reading.
Happy first day of December.

  I cannot respond to 📧 tonight. I’m a warm marshmallow tonight. We soaked in the public bath for 1.5 hours too long. Maybe tomorrow. Forgive. Bless you. We will talk. Xoxo
