is all important,

I'm timid.
Now I'm strong enough
to accept that.
No more covering it up
with boldness.
So I am free
to share with You
a fear talisman
that works for me;
It is called:
Today Is Not The Day
Today is not the day.
That thing you most fear
will not be coming today;
Salutations and
burden of proof
upon ye!
Forever is comprised
of Now
riding the rail of your
"Fate"
so to speak,
growing so wise
the truth is a squeak;
But I can perceive it
beneath world's din
tune out the inessential
-Believe-
and move right in.
Thank YOU
for visiting today!
Warmly, cloudia
YOU're timid? Oh please.
ReplyDeleteI like all the Eleanor quotes and i also dig mr. turtle!
I never thought of you as timid, but rather a bold, adventuresome spirit!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful turtle!
ReplyDelete~
nice quotes
ReplyDeleteThose turtles are fantastic to be around. Always nice to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteToday is not the day. Good one. I shall use it myself!
ReplyDeleteI used to be timid. No more.
ReplyDeleteYour poem speaks to me. May none of our fears come true today.
Have a good day.
I'm happy today isn't the day for the things I fear Cloudia, tomorrow neither :) the clap of the clouds known as thunder!
ReplyDeleteI believe that thunder is the sound of cloud hands clapping... I think that embracing ourselves as we are and loving ourselves any way is the first step in transcending our limitations.
ReplyDeleteAloha Cloudia, dreaming away on your photos, and living your quotes, moment by moment!
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful.
ReplyDeleteToday is not the day. It's inspiring along with your photo of the clouds. Great way to start my morning. :-)
ReplyDeleteWaking up to your awesome comments is better than coffee!! Thanks, Dears ♥🐹
ReplyDeleteI hope the day doesn't come for a long time, Cloudia!
ReplyDeleteWow- that is a super shot of the clouds. Have a fabulous day!
ReplyDeleteEleanor Roosevelt was a very wise woman!
ReplyDeleteLove your courage in facing, refacing and refacing again the things which frighten you.
ReplyDeleteI just love the sea turtle and the sky is just beautiful, Cloudia! I love reading the quotes and poems your chose! You have a way with words, I am the timid one.. Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteThose clouds do look like hands!
ReplyDeleteI love your use of quotes!
ReplyDeleteJust came back from the land of sea turtle lat week :)
ReplyDeleteThese are such wise thoughts, Cloudia. I certainly would never think of you as timid either. I see you as someone conquering the world, one kindness at a time.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you must have been watching the Roosevelts. We really enjoyed it. Art said we're going to have to go through Roosevelt withdrawal this week.
