When Compassion

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
H O N O L U L U
Peace begins 
when the mind stops 
fighting reality.
When greed softens.
When hatred is not fed.
When compassion 
becomes action.
   Buddha


Look at other people 
and ask yourself if you are 
really seeing them or just 
your thoughts about them.... 
Without knowing it, we are coloring everything, putting our spin on it all.
                     Jon Kabat-Zinn






Light leans gently 
against the glass, 
unsure which side 
it belongs to.



In her gaze,
the world grows still,
A shimmer born
of moonlit will.
She loves as stars love—
soft, aloof,
Yet curls at dusk
beneath my roof.

Cloudia & Pixie
We Love
YOU!
