Miss Pixie

was a rescue cat

in Hawaii.

She was nervous

and not adept

at selling herself to

prospective families.

So she lived in jail

for almost her full time.

Then in a tiny

Waikiki apartment

with us.

Now she is the Lady

of substantial lands,

birds, sights

and smells.

So never give up!

May we all find

our paradise

as Pixie has.

Amen

Grow Up, Tune In, Let Go

"If growing up is the 

process of creating ideas 

and dreams about what 

life should be, then 

maturity is letting 

[them] go again."

      Mary Beth Danielson

“Cease striving. 

Then there will 

be transformation.” 

           Zhuangzi

"If growing up means it 

would be beneath my 

dignity to climb a tree, 

I'll never grow up, never 

grow up, never grow up! 

Not me!"     

    J.M. Barrie

"I'm a silvery lined cloud

Drifting slowly 

through deep blue

Glowing on the edges

Inside a rain-

drenched hue."

"Details of the many walks

 I made along the crest 

have blurred, now, into a 

pleasing tapestry of grass 

and space and sunlight."

Otherwise everyone 

would do it."
