Letting the Particles Run

A L O H A From Honolulu!

circle of time.
And into the circle of love. Rumi

Puff, the Magic Dragon,
lived by the sea, and frolicked in
the Autumn Mist in a land called

It's a good thing to turn
your mind upside down
now and then, like
an hour-glass, to let the
particles run the other way. Christopher Morley

  1. And now I have an ear worm - which is fine, because I love dragons.

  2. My mom had that Peter, Paul, and Mary album when I was growing up. Puff the Magic Dragon was one of my favorite songs. I love dragon boats, too. Pixie is pretending she's Little Jacky Paper, but instead of bringing strings and sealing wax, I bet she brings dead mice or birds to give to Puff. Does Puff roar out his name at the start of the dragon boat races, or do they just use an air horn?

  7. Our Isabelle adores dragons. The header is amazing. I must find a new one for myself.
    Happy May.

  8. HA! I read your "3 friends" and thought, "Who was left out?" Using my deductive skills I figured 3 girls 1 guy, IT WAS ME! BUT!!! Then I saw I got my own special comment. That was your plan all along, wasn't it! 😄

  15. So you date yourself with "Puff the Magic Dragon" ... I remember that song from years ago and it is the perfect match for your dragon boats. Love the circles of all good things and Pixie is always a treat. Cute and clever this week, Claudia ...
