 that's keeping the stars apart

 I carry your heart

(i carry it in my heart). "

" Generally, 

by the time you are real, 

most of your hair 

has been loved off, 

and your eyes drop out 

and you get loose 

in the joints 

and very shabby. 

But these things 

don’t matter at all, 

because once you are

 real 

you can’t be ugly, 

except to people 

who don’t understand."

just FOR 

the moment.

Meeting Three Sisters

“What you meet

 in another being

 is the projection 

of your own 

level of 

evolution.” 

             Ram Dass

"Sisters don't need words. 

They have perfected a 

language of snarls

 and smiles and frowns

 and winks - 

expressions of shocked 

surprise and incredulity 

and disbelief. 

Sniffs and snorts 

and gasps and sighs - 

that can undermine 

any tale you're telling." 

                                     Pam Brown

" It is amazing

 how much love 

and laughter

 they bring into our lives

 and even how much 

closer we become 

with each other

 because of them.” 

               John Grogan

Lightening in a bottle

tightening up the throttle

joying in the mottled

days of Summer Time!

Your sweet visits

are certainly 

no bummer!

Love the texture

of your life,

refuse to worry-

catastrophize

or strife.

Untangle the knots

patiently as you go

melting away

the rock-hard snow.

In the gravest

of times,

Angels Always

Arrived.

[After all:

I'm still alive]

What's on your heart

today?
