Clouds Make Bright Rainbows

The most difficult times for many of us are the ones we give ourselves. Pema Chodron



Even the bad moments,
the tough ones,
I'm proud of them, too.
Those moments 
get you better, smarter, 
make you grow.
     Manu Ginobili




The secret to life
is finding joy
in ordinary things. Ruth Reichl


Don’t let the tall weeds
cast a shadow on the
beautiful flowers
in your garden.

Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia



Perfect petals  

invite quick praise

sunlight adoring  

With first morning rays.


Yet with years,  

the eye learns  

to linger  

on the fallen bloom, 

With light a flicker.


Frayed edges  

whispering of

wind and rain.

Yet much still matters  

Essence still remains.
