Healing Enjoyment

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Healing requires from us
to stop struggling, but
to enjoy life more
and endure it less.
Darina Stoyanova


It's when we start
working together that
the real healing
takes place.
   David Hume




And once the storm is over, 
you won’t remember how 
you made it through, 
how you managed 
to survive. But 
one thing is certain. 
When you come out 
of the storm, you 
won’t be the same 
person who walked in. 
That’s what this storm’s all about.
                   Haruki Murakami






Truth is the
basis of all healing
Barbara Schmidt

Love You,
Cloudia & Pixie





Fallen African Tulip
Dancing free this crimson gem.
Fallen tulip pirouettes the wind.
A tapestry of hope in flight,
On wings of scarlet, bathed in light.
Even fallen, we can rise,
In sun-kissed laughter to the skies.
Just so to paint our day with fire,
This vibrant ember's bright desire.
And like the tulip, free and bold,
We'll paint our days in stories told.

    That's such a beautiful poem, Cloudia. I'll think of it whenever I see an African tulip.

    And that Murakami quote is so true isn't it? It's made me think.

    Pixie's hair looks rumpled from the storm. Is she the same cat?

    The Council of Infinite Pixies gathers to discuss pressing issues, like the meaning of the purr.
