A L O H A From Honolulu!
Become so absolutely free
that your very existence
is an act of rebellion.
Albert Camus

The low-hanging fruit is
cynicism and pessimism,
and it's there if you want it.
You can reach out and
you can grab it, you don't
even have to
make any effort.
Emilio Estevez
Ho! Ho! Ho!
To the bottle I go
To heal my heart and
drown my woe -
- Rain may fall, and
wind may blow
And many miles
be still to go
But under a tall tree
will I lie
And let the clouds
go sailing by
J.R.R. Tolkien

Christmas:
the only time of year
you can sit in front of a
dead tree eating candy
out of socks.

Probably the reason
we all go so haywire
at Christmas time with
the endless unrestrained
and often silly buying of gifts
is that we don't quite know
how to put our love
into words.

I got a laugh out of Teresa's comment about Pixie.
ReplyDeleteHO! HO! HO! Those liquor bottles would make anyone enjoy this season. Of course, I loved the Bird of Paradise and the quotes, too. Thanks for joining us for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia. Enjoy your new year, too!
ReplyDeleteHappy T-day, Claudia. Lovely post - one of my favorites. The low hanging fruit verse and the one about why we buy so many presents have really got me thinking. Hugz to you and your sweet kitty. Happy New Year.

Cynicism and pessimism may be low-hanging fruit, but sometimes that's what I'm wanting ;)

ReplyDeleteYes, if we only had the answer to all this haywire business that happens this time of year right? Loving the sights of your home and the California house and the pretty lights.
