Remind

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Remind me
that all of this,
every bit of it,
is for love.
Keep me fiercely kind.
Laura Jean Truman



The difference between
a rut and a groove is
how you feel in it.
Cloudia Charters



Giant tree - tiny soul,
fellowship
that makes us whole.

Wind sings secrets
in the leaves,
A language only
nature weaves.

The child, entranced
feels spirit rise,
joins the song
with gentle sighs.

Single hand
so soft and small,
Reaches out
to feel it all.
               Cloudia Charters



The intuitive mind
is a sacred gift 
and the rational mind
is a faithful servant.
 We have created a society 
that honors the servant
and has forgotten the gift.
   Albert Einstein






Some people,
no matter how old they get,
 never lose their beauty -
they merely move it
from their faces
into their hearts.
      Martin Buxbaum

Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia



Maneki-neko
Crimson collars glint in the sun,
Paws raised high, good luck has begun!
A bobtail bunch, this porcelain crowd, Beckoning cats in a lucky cloud.

I love your definition of the difference between a rut and a groove.
Groove on dear friend.

Thanks dear!

No one wants to be stuck in a rut, but everyone wants their groove back! Thanks for staying in your groove, and thanks for the lucky cats, especially the supremely lucky and lovely Pixie Cat!!
