Aladdin's Lamp
" Anger
is a wind
which blows out
the lamp of the mind. "
Robert Green Ingersoll
" Twilight
drops her curtain down,
and pins it
with a star. "
Lucy Maud Montgomery
" Remember
to be gentle
with yourself
and others.
We are all
children of chance
and none can say
why some fields will blossom
while others lay brown
beneath the August sun."
Kent Nerburn

Be gentle
gentle friend
with yourself
first of all.
Others may be selling,
resentful,
or zombies -
What is that
to YOU
child of stars?
Let them joust
popular phantoms.
How could you
wake them?
How could you
wake them?
Be You
too busy
enjoying
the evident.
You Deserve it.
Thanks for finding it
here!
Warmly, cloudia
