Common and Enchanted

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Oh, now all common things
become uncommon and
enchanted to me.
Charles Dickens
1850


Other people have secret sorrows. Private worries that cloud their tomorrows. You don't need to know what they are. Just shine on them with your secret star.


When people would surrender
in life-or-death situations such
as a hijacking the F.B.I. tries to
find out what they did right.
"We’d ask, ‘What did we say
that made you come out?’
And the answer was always
the same: ‘I don’t remember
what you said. But I liked
the way you said it.’” Gary Norsner,
FBI








Once you label me, 
   you negate me.  
  Sören Kierkegaard

 Love You, 
  Cloudia & Pixie

‘I don’t remember
what you said. But I liked
the way you said it.’

WOW.

Pixie looks very comfy, and her friend on the Chinese porcelain seat looks ready to start the lion dances. Cool post today. I love all the quotes.

You posted some exquisite photos this week, Claudia, some of your best, I would say. So is the bird in the first picture closer to you than the people or is it that big? Love your elegant kitty and, of course, Pixie in all of her glory :) Happy New Year, Claudia and Pixie and I wish you many more ...
