Sometimes we

get the best results

by turning off

the brain.

Dancing! Wooing!

Fro-ing - Too-ing!

Some things

go better

without too much

strain.

And the things

we ought to ponder?

On automatic 

all the time!

It might DO 

to reconsider

0ur Ways we  

think Just Fine.

Life is rich & complex.

Dare to let it be -

Turn off the brain,

walk in the rain,

and find your 

child's knowing 

in your belly

once again.

Thank YOU

for dancing with

us here!

Fondly, cloudia

as though there is

to be experienced... 

an abundance of goodness 

in each person you 

come in contact with, 

and the knowledge that 

you have

enough inner wisdom 

to answer the mysteries 

that challenge you. "

Where did all this 

Change come from?

I didn't ask for this.

Most of it great-

Yes even good things 

come with change and

a feeling mighty strange.

As we become

our next become.

Glad you joined me

one to one.

YOUR visit

means the world

to me!
