There is a strong shadow
where there is much light.
Goethe
Any authentic creation
is a gift to the future.
Camus
Calotropis gigantea, the crown flower is native to Cambodia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, China, Pakistan, and Nepal.
Find something
you’re passionate about
and keep tremendously
interested in it.
Julia Child
In the mind's quiet
release the weight,
Let go of the shadows
That others create.
In this space
where freedom sings
Angels whisper
Of wondrous things.
Embrace the moment
Let ease unfold,
In every heartbeat
stories are told.
No longer chained
By others' strife
I set my soul
Ablaze with life!
Cloudia Charters
Aging is an extraordinary
process where you become
the person you always
should have been.
David Bowie

ReplyDeleteLoved your poem and David Bowie's take on aging. So true! Blessings, Cloudia!
ReplyDeleteYour words are always a comfort, Cloudia. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHopefully, David Bowie is right. Does that mean that there should always be elderly curmudgeons in the world? Pixie has aged wonderfully into the guru she always should have been.
ReplyDeleteA wow mural.
ReplyDeleteNice poems and photos.
ReplyDeleteHugs
David Bowie was way too young when he passed away.
