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
