Pixie's Creed

 
 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

You can only come
to the morning
through
the shadows.
J.R.R. Tolkien





Even a wounded world
is feeding us. Even a
wounded world holds us,
giving us moments of
wonder and joy.
I choose joy over despair.
Not because I have
my head in the sand,
but because joy is
what the earth gives me daily

and I must return the gift. Robin Wall Kimmerer





Clouds pass across the glass
they do not stay
but why does my heart sway?


Light shifting, never held
Outside and Inside
meet, dance and meld.


The clouds move on
across painted smiles
and in this moment - moment
everything feels worthwhile.


The passing and the staying
moving sky, softly praying
this living day, never aging

look again—
the clouds are gone.


As if time folded
and left a crease
the feeling remains
and wonders never cease

Right there, now
reflected on the glass


Cloudia Charters






I am grateful to those who are keepers of the groove. The babies and the grandmas who hang on to it and help us remember when we forget that any kind of dancing is better than no dancing at all. Lynda Barry ᐛ☆ᐛᐛᐛᐛᐛᐛᐛᐛᐛᐌ
Love You Pixie & Cloudia

 There are always strong opinions.
They come and go. But
the truth of what
occurred emerges.
Act today in the faith
that tomorrow will 
surprise everyone.
Just do your best.
