Gate of Joy

"The Catterpiller toward the End of Summer waxeth Volitile, and turneth to a Butterflie." - Bacon

The word 'Volatile' grows out of the Latin 'Volare,' "to fly."

Cooler "gang." His insulin & oxygen are in da cooler!

"My reading is hoarding, accumulating, storing up for the future, filling the hole of the present."

"Writing is a beautiful act. It is making something that will give pleasure to others."
- Susan Sontag (both)

At the gates of joy
a butterfly's shadow flits
or is it a shadow butterfly?
It's quieter here than I expected
the only pounding music
is coming from my heart.
Cleared - renounced - renewed
ready to go within
but no hurry - never again;
Trust the unfoldment
and loiter by the gate
Of Joy. A L O H A! Cloudia
