" I grew up terrified
of what I knew myself
to be.
I felt haunted by it
because it was both
a crime
and a mental illness
when I was a child. . .
I was part
of this wonderful
wave of liberation."

" Surely the strange
beauty of the world
must somewhere
rest on
pure joy! "
Louise Bogan

" Nothing is black or white,
nothing's 'us or them.'
. . . there are
magical, beautiful
things in the world.
There's incredible acts
of kindness and
bravery, and
in the most
unlikely places,
and it gives you
hope. "
Dave Matthews

I dropped my ball cap
in a puddle.
But I ALWAYS
wear the ball cap
under my motorcycle helmet
as a clean liner
and for the sun-bill.
So I wore my
virgin helmet
without 'protection'
So I was able to
re-discover
the recessed visor (!)
and enjoy some
protection
in the rain!
Don't fret life's puddles,
enjoy the skies & clouds
reflected therein.
Or something like that,
my friends!
I love the optimism
and point-of-view
we enjoy at
Your blogs!

Your optimism and love of beauty makes your site a joy to visit first thing in the morning. Have a wonderful day when yours starts, Cloudia!
My cocker spaniel is a submissive 30 pound baby who, nonetheless, chases anything that moves down the street, skateboarders and baby carriages, makes no difference. Hence he wears a electronic collar that beeps if he approaches the perimeter around our house. It terrifies him! So, as the literature says, he is afraid to go even when I (have turned it off) entreat him to come with me. I am so proud of him that he is now, usually, able to come when I call him for a car ride. Big work for a scaredy dog.
Loved the link Cloudia, merci beaucoup ! I wish I HAD some puddles to fret about.. Dry as a bone here :)
encouraging....
beauty and joy go hand in hand...without acknowledging one, we rarely find the other...
Happy Monday my friend. x
You mean, your fellow clouds are allowed to rain on you? No! ;-)
I'm sad about the news of Philip Seymour Hoffman's death. Did you hear?
I love the optimism that oozes out of this blog. It's always such a delight. Have a good week.
Nature is the best treasure :)
i liked the plover staring down the kitty. :)
What an amazing sky! I'm very much a believer that the unexpected and unknowns of everyday life can often bring much joy!
Wonderful view of the sky !
Greetings :)

Chuckled at Fireblossom's concern about your cloud buddies raining on you. Hope the cap dries out.
(That Kitty is not skinny.)
