Connectivity

Aloha Friend!

  Click on Today's Silly Song!



"Simplicity
is the ultimate
sophistication."

Da Vinci







"Don't ever get so big or important
that you can not hear
and listen to
every other person."


John Coltrane








"If you want to see the rainbow
  you gotta put up with the rain."
Dolly Parton





Let's just sit and stare out at the sunshine for a while,
Shall we?

<">



The holidays are supposed to be times to connect,

but they often lead us to think about the disconnections
in our lives.

These are times when we travel far distances,
sometimes looking for things that can never be found again.

But we hope.

We make plans, and we look forward.


We WILL  be home for Christmas.

Next year in Jerusalem.

We will make it home to the countryside
for Lunar New Year.

But wanna know a secret?

There is in each of us
a hearth
a heart

and we share it
with all the HEART
everywhere.

What we seek is
really within.

Everyone
from age one
to ninety two
feels the same sparkle-
It's new and shiny in young eyes,
 a smoldering glow
in the heart of age. 



During the holidays
we rush about
becoming dizzy like children 
who spin,
mouths open,
catching snow flakes.

Snow flakes blizzard-ing like blog posts
like bloggers:

All the same

yet each one truly unique!

Thank YOU for making time to visit here.   cloudia

  1. Your "silly" song is the first Christmas song of the season I actually listened to. Bing is my hero. :)

    PS - I love that analogy about bloggers being like snowflakes, "all the same yet truly unique." What a wonderful thought at one of the most wonderful times of the year. Happy Thanksgiving, Chica!!

  7. Happy Thanksgiving, beautiful friend. You said it all and so very well. Thank you.

    I am listening to Natalie Merchant's "Kind and Generous" and thinking that is the perfect background sound to this post.

    God bless.
