In the space
Between heartbeats, My cup rests Not full nor empty- Simply holding What it holds. Clouds drift by
unconcerned Free of shape
or purpose, Simply content
to be passing.
Cloudia Charters


The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.
Bertrand Russell






Build a bridge by extending your hand.
Ken Poirot




Crinum is a genus of about 180 species of perennial plants that have large showy flowers on leafless stems, and develop from bulbs. They are found in seasonally moist areas, including marshes, swamps, depressions and along the sides of streams and lakes in tropical and subtropical areas worldwide.


Not to be absolutely certain is, I think, one of the essential things in rationality. Bertrand Russell

We have far too much certainty, and not enough questioning at present I think. Here's to an open mind full of questions!

Mr. M. and I were talking about the last time we were in Hawaii and how fragrant and wonderful the air was. I could use a day in Hawaii, or a month. LOL Have a lovely day today.

I love the pictures of the bridge and the shower trees. I think Pixie is looking up to see if she will be doused in a shower of fragrant blossoms.

May we all find contentment is the passing of the clouds. Blessings, Cloudia!
