"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."

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
That's such a cute photo of the dog! :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't he a dear?
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! The dog is adorable.
ReplyDeleteYou asked something on my blog about my books. I personally think that "cold in the Light" is my best book, but it's also pretty gory because it's horror fiction.
ReplyDeleteWith fantasy, the first in my trilogy, "Swords of Talera" is the opener for that.
Great dog photo, yes.!
Great photos as usual and Susan Sontag's quotes have been saved. I really enjoy these quotable quotes you find.
ReplyDeletePugs are wonderful dogs.
ReplyDeleteThe image of a shadow butterfly is one I am truly envious of.

ReplyDeleteOh, and it's such an honour that you follow me, why, thanks!
As I loiter let me loiter on the inward side of said gate.
