We are the boat, 
we are the sea,
I sail in you, 
you sail in me.

Dance with the raindrops,
Sing beneath the stars, Find solace in the meadow
Feel pride in your scars.
Pixie



The Gleaming Single star, Velvet sky, My humble hearth Embers sigh. That gentle touch And whispered word, Quiet treasures so Richly felt and heard. Gilded plenty Or necessities spare Each has it's challenge Pointless to compare. But a grateful heart Is luminous grace, Enlarging the spirit In a heavenly space. Cloudia Charters

    Good morning my friend.
    We are waiting for photos from the flower parade!!
    The pixie's eyes are beautiful!
    I really liked the song,
    it reminds me of the flower children and an unusual song!

    King Kamahamaha has long been the only American king… and I hope it stays that way!

    Honouring one king but protesting the other is fine with me on this day.
