Moat and Drawbridge

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Let laughter dance,
Let tears find grace,
In every heart
A sunlit space



Raise your words,
not voice.
It is rain that
grows flowers,
not thunder.
  Rumi





Trust life, and
it will teach you,
in joy and sorrow,
all you need to know.
James Baldwin


Let kindness be the moat,
where worries drown,
And laughter, the drawbridge,
where blessings are found.

Cloudia & Pixie

I just noticed that lightning bolt on Pixie's forehead. Has he been hanging around with Harry Potter?
