“It is better to be generous than just.
 It is sometimes better
to sympathize
 instead of trying to understand.”

Pierre Lecompte de Nouy

Physical beauty
is such a strange thing. "

At the gates of joy
a butterfly 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 here
by
the gate
of Joy. 


Thank YOU for loitering here!
Your comment is a butterfly 
            warmly, cloudia

  24. Did lots of that "I'm just gonna stand here at look at that thing" while visiting sights on 3 of your isles. Funny how we have to justify "smelling the roses." DrumMajor
