Better Than

 A L O H A From Honolulu!
"Firebird"

If I learned one thing
from Firebird, it’s that
a person’s tragedy
doesn’t define them
or cancel all the
good in their life. M.L. Wang



We are better
than our culture.
Load us down with
prejudice, equip us with
indifference, and we will
nevertheless, at the critical
moment, cast the
nonsense aside and
find our true selves.
     Jack McDevitt




To make a prairie
it takes a clover
and one bee,
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.
      Emily Dickinson



The jacaranda in the
courtyard has put
on its bloom. This
purple can't be ignored,
it's like a tree singing.
   Barbara Kingsolver






Port, Starboard
Drinking
With shark's jaws



There is nothing perfect...
only life.
Sue Monk Kidd

  6. I especially loved the McDevitt quote. Reminds me of the resilience of Ukrainians.

    That is one very different mural. It seems to speak of life and death.

    I absolutely LOVE your choice for T this week, Cloudia. Those wine glasses inside the shark's teeth are stunning and creative. Thanks for sharing these with us for T Tuesday.

    I had no idea Pixie went outside anymore. She's still a doll.
