Wish I Knew But I Do

A   L   O   H   A  !
Self-care is never 

a selfish act-it is 

simply good stewardship 

of the only gift I have, 

the gift I was put on earth 

to offer to others.

     Parker Palmer















Be that self 

which one

truly is.

Soren Kierkegaard
















Prejudices are

what fools use 

for reason.

 Voltaire 
















When pure sincerity 

forms within,

 it is outwardly realized 

in other people's hearts.

 Lao Tzu














Who am I?

I wish I knew.

So many versions

like the years just flew,

but I knew by each

successive permutation

some aspect of 

the project to

polish, or completely

smooth down.


I'm  done 

with the frown.

Oh I've seen it around.

But it can do it's job

elsewhere.


Hanging back more

but I still care,

and bringing the 

Good Stuff distilled

from mountaintops

with a dash of despair.



So there.

We're here.

And I do hold You 

dear. 


Love the loving

avoid the hate

heaven is within you,

inhabit it.

Don't wait.


Fondly, 
                cloudia & Pixie
