Now THAT'S A Sparkle!

When life gives you Monday, dip it in glitter and sparkle all day! Ella Woodward


At evening's edge wall can be water. Light loosens its
grip on the day.
This painted ocean
breathes anyway. Brushstrokes ripple
like memory on the bay. Whales leap through dusk's doorway, their bodies dappled with the last rose gold light. They do not hurry. sun’s language fades across their backs,

The real sea darkens, but here light lingers—
My world refuses to close its eyes. And I am part of it— watching the whales slip slowly into night without ever leaving. Cloudia Charters

Wealth is the ability
to fully experience life. Thoreau




I myself am made 
entirely of flaws,
stitched together with
good intentions.
      Augusten Burroughs

The world is full of poetry. The air is living with its spirit; and the waves dance to the music of its melodies, and sparkle in its brightness. James Gates Percival
