" The difference between

fiction and reality?

Fiction

has to make

sense. "

Tom Clancy

Monstera & Aruba Blue by Essie

" Things need not have happened

 to be true. 

Tales and adventures

 are the shadow truths

 that will endure 

when mere facts 

are dust and ashes

 and forgotten. "

Neil Gaiman 

Cast a Long Shadow (Java Finch)

" Poetry is an echo,

 asking a shadow

 to dance.

Carl Sandburg

Much of what I share

with You here

is written during my 

morning walks

  in Waikiki.

Standing,

writing in my palm

in the park.

It's as if you 

are walking with me.

Every day!

Then I visit your site,

and walk along

with you for a while.

I love our 

conversation

NICE!

Thanks for walking along,

 seen...from a

 third-storey window,

 that delights me."

Virginia Woolf

" Now that I've 

relinquished 

my fantasies 

of all the people

 I wish I could be, 

and stopped feeling

 guilty about [that], 

I have more time 

for the things 

that I truly enjoy."

Gretchen Rubin

 to think you can

 solve any 

major problems 

just with 

potatoes."

" I'd rather sing one wild song

 and burst my heart with it,

 than live a thousand years

 watching my digestion

 and being afraid

 of the wet.” 

 Jack London, 

The Turtles of Tasman

"I'd rather sing

MANY wild songs

 and burst my heart with 

a surprising number

of them,

 while living

 a thousand years

 nurturing my digestion

with good food,

and showing due

respect

 of the slippery,

and wet.”

" Keep away from people

 who try to belittle

 your ambitions. 

Small people 

always do that, 

but the really great 

make you feel 

that you, too, 

can become great. "

Mark Twain

" Do not be afraid of defeat.

 you are never so near victory 

as when  defeated 

in a good cause. "

 in the mysteries

Joggle:

To shake slightly; move to and fro, as by repeated jerks.

A L O H A !

 

Lived in a tower

Lived on a boat

Learned how to see wide

Learned how to float

Been too delicate

Came on too tough

Came in like

 gangbusters

Never enough

Admiring the spires

Refinery fires

Riding on tires (tyres)

Made in Japan

And still

the road

runs through

Glad we walk together

=^..^=

Thanks

My Decision

A L O H A !

" Beauty is how you feel

 inside, and it reflects

 in your eyes.

 It is not 

something physical. "

Sophia Loren 

" There is a fountain of youth:

 it is your mind, 

your talents, the 

creativity you 

bring to your life 

and the lives 

of people you love. 

When you learn to tap 

this source, 

you will truly have 

defeated age. "

Sophia Loren 

" If you haven't cried, 

your eyes

 can't be beautiful. "

Sophia Loren 

" You have to be born

 a sex symbol. 

You don't become one. 

If you're born 

with it, 

you'll have it 

even when you're 

100 years old. "

Sophia Loren

It is my pleasure

to announce

that I have decided

to join

the Sisterhood

of women all around us

who are quietly

Older Than You Think.

Quiet, because

it's rude to flaunt.

Grateful.

Beneficent.

Mindful of 

T I M E.

It is just these

ingredients,

add a dash of genes,

a lifetime of sun avoidance,

and a heart of love

for puppies & people

(even when they scrape

one's hose)

So my admitted age

is a lie,

like the celebrities

who were adults

when I was an adolescent

who are now

"my bio age"

and growing younger.

So what do YOU

routinely lie about?

                        LOL! cloudia
