Happiest

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Whoever you are, no matter
how lonely, the world offers
itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the
wild geese, harsh & exciting-
over & over announcing
your place in the
family of things. Mary Oliver


Who are the happiest people on earth?
A craftsman or artist whistling
over a job well done.
A little child building sand castles.
A mother, after a busy day,
bathing her baby. A doctor
who has finished a difficult and
dangerous operation, and
saved a human life.
Elbert Hubbard


Intelligence is a crown
worn by the wise
that only the
enlightened can see.
  Matshona Dhliwayo






In the faint moonlight,
the grass is singing T. S. Eliot

AWWW Monday

T Tuesday


Be content to stand
in the light, and
let the shadow fall
where it will.

Is Pixie listening to the grass in the park singing, or is she trying to figure out how to nab her coffee fix away from the dastardly shadow...?

Thank you and Pixie. You often make me very happy.

Cloudia said...

Pixie can't sleep, because she's trying to figure out how grass can sing.

My life is better visiting people all around the world. I am pretty lonely!
Thank you.

That moon shot is amazing. LOVE how Pixie looks rather mesmerized in this photo. And of course, Mary Stewart's quote is both truthful and poignant, while sharing the drink with us for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia.

Cloudia, you find the best quotes to go with your super interesting photos. The kitty wins every time though today... that shadowy coffee comes in a close second. Wise words, great photos, and happy T-day! Hugz
