Banquet Brain Bouquet

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Just relax and be kind.
Then all that cannot be forced
will flow to you easily.
Stop focusing on worries.
Cloudia Charters








Moonlight Shower Tree
I hear the wind among the trees Playing the celestial symphonies; I see the branches downward bent, Like keys of some great instrument.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow






When one is willing and able the gods join in. Aeschylus




The sun, the earth,
love, friends, 
our very breath are
parts of the banquet.

Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia

I just found this quote today on the net... reminds me of what you're saying today. "The world is round so that friendship may encircle it. We are one, after all, you and I. Together we suffer, together exist, and forever will recreate each other. Our duty, as men and women, is to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist. We are collaborators in creation. Love is the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world... Love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis. It is our duty as men and women to proceed as though the limits of our abilities do not exist."
~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Trees are always beautiful to me, no matter what the season. We are so blessed to live in a forest!
All the best, Cloudia!
