Ship Lights

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
The sincere friends 
of this world
 are as ship lights
 in the stormiest
 of nights. 
Giotto di Bondone








The whole world is 
a series of miracles, 
but we're so used to them 
we call then ordinary things.
Hans Christian Andersen






Of course there is
 no formula for 
success 
except perhaps an
 unconditional acceptance 
of life and 
what it brings.
    Arthur Rubinstein  




Compassion will cure
more sins than
condemnation.
 Henry Ward Beecher

Pixie & Cloudia

𒐫




Bubbles huddle
 On liquid skies,
Tiny worlds
In bright disguise.

Floating lightly 
On mirrored dreams,
Whispered secrets 
In their gleams.
Pixie

The kitty in the photo is adorable. Yes to Hans Christian Anderson, I know that miracles are all around us. God shows himself to us in all his creations. Stars, the moon, sunrise and sunset. He often saves us and we don't know because the disaster was averted. Miracles.

Does Pixie like chasing bubbles? Or does she chase the rainbow?

You always find the best quotes. Especially like the one about the miracles we kind of overlook. We do. Happy day to you and Pixie.

Your moon shot is stunning. Love the rainbow behind the palm trees. I'm for compassion, too! And the bubbles in that drink are fabulous and stunning. What a great idea for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia and Pixie.
