"It occurs to me that the
peculiarity of most things
we think of as fragile is
how tough they truly are...
...There were tricks
we did with eggs,
as children, to show how
they were, in reality, tiny
load-bearing marble halls;
while the beat of the wings of a
butterfly in the right place,
we are told, can create a
hurricane across an ocean.
Neil Gaiman
Butterfly
Grace is neither gentleness nor fragility.
Grace is treating yourself, others, and
even inanimate objects with respect.
Kamand Kojouri
Appreciative words are
the most powerful force
for good on earth!"
George W. Crane
If we take care of the moments,
the years will take care of themselves.

Young Things, New Things
are fragile.
Old things grow tender as well.
At this time of year,
of Crone & Infant,
Wisdom, Regret, and Insight
share Lordship with the
Fragile, Hopeful & New.
Returning to the framework of routine,
we pick up the first scent
of a new year, new decade.
One thing I know
is gratitude
for coming to this day.
I feel unexpectedly
positive and expectant.
A birdsong is telling me
that things will be better.
Glad You are Here.
Together is better.
Bump, bump bump
we go
down the funny stairs.
Fondly, cloudia
