The hair that replaced it is beautiful as is the woman under it all.

This captures the power of Haiku... precise, poignant imagery. My heart is crying over younger you ... which also helps me have compassion for younger me.

Thanks, Kathleen. I love haikus!


Sending love and compassion for younger you! We carry so much with us from those years, often without even realizing it!
