And Then We FLEW -

flew 

right through 

the smoke screen 

of impossibility. "

Entropy, Gravity,

Change & Time

hold us fast

hold us down.

But something

in the human spirit

soars

at all ages

in all conditions

Until the day

we follow it

Higher.

This is my call

across the skies

of Our Friendship.

Keep on fellow flyer!

Upward to the Dawn-

Our Tribe

the most important thing 

in a whole day

the rest we take 

between 

two deep breaths. ”

" Everyone likes 

to feel part 

of a tribe, 

nurtured 

and celebrated. "

Something Special happens

when we come together.

Wearing these bodies,

experiencing

our own viewpoint,

is a solitary pursuit.

Infants, we learn

that those

are Others

not things.

Then we learn

to build walls

or welcomes.

Somethings Special Happens

when we come together,

Men at play,

fish gotta swim,

circle of bloggy pals.

De - LIGHTFUL!

Thanks SO much

for being a big part

of our world.

What Your legend?

What is Your Story

about Yourself

 the one

making sense 

of You?

[ to Yourself ]

What is Your legend?

What is Your past?

Life

of the party,

or lonely

outcast?

Looking back

the things we 

thought we knew

are seen afresh

from a different view.

What have YOU learned

about YOURSELF

that's new?

Thanks for relaxing

here awhile-

Makes me smile!
