Kitty Green Sky

But the secret sits in the middle and knows."

With them He writes in shining green

Across the world His thoughts serene."

So much of what we worry about


is pointless.


We fight against something


because of our idea of what it will bring


and then find that it is


harmless,


or even pleasant.




So much that we deplore


passes (ultimately) unnoticed.





I think ALL worry


(not to be confused with foresight)


is worse than a waste



of our irreplaceable moments,



hours,



lives.




"Later is just a thought."

Says Marianne Williamson.




So when do we have permission to stop worrying?



Well here it is:


Take the weekend off from worry!

Don't feel guilty-


You HAVE permission!


warmly, cloudia

Thans for that permission Cloudia. I will comply and have fun. Hope you do too.

As always love the pictures and the quotes, and, of course, your words of wisdom.

Green the colour of hope, mixed with the blue of your sky, might provide that yellow gold of your mind.
A wonderful Sunday for you.

So true. My daughter was upset her friend was in a bad mood. I told her to think like a man and walk away from it and live and let it sort itself out. I couldn't believe my ears. But she did and all was well. You are right.
