Treasure Map

Every light has its shadow, and every shadow hath a succeeding morning. Nicolaus Copernicus

We spend a lot of time

pretending that we are normal,

but underneath the surface

each one of us knows that

he or she is unique. Colin Clark




Treasure

by Cloudia Charters


Treasure is not always gold,
or something buried
far away.


Some riches live in a vault
others live forever
breathing
in your heart.

Kindness weighs more
than a locked chest of jewels.
Precious things
money cannot buy:
Time, Health, Friendship,
Peace, and Home.


Treasure is not always found.
Sometimes we make it
with patience, work, and love.
Treasures we cannot lose,
the beauty
of the soul.





You conquer
the world
by conquering
yourself.
Zeno

Pixie & Cloudia

I do love your colorful sky photos, and your bird photos. You have a great eye for finding things of interest. Have a great week.

All the photos are fantastic especially Pixie. However, that last one about respecting your neighbors, priceless.
