Life can surprise you!

I think THAT's

what I really want

to tell You today.

Anything Can Happen.

We say that,

and shudder;

We hold our loved ones

closer and say a prayer

or charm.

Yes, Anything

can happen.

And that includes

unseen blessings

out of a bright blue sky-

or even BETTER:

a grey & stormy sky!

What a difference

a Day makes.

"Don't cry for the one

that left you,

the next one might 

fall for your smile."

counselled Mae West.

And she was right.

Today is a treasure,

just to exist.

And sometimes

it explodes with happiness.

That's part of Life too!

Don't discount a Serendip,

or turn away 

a Heff-a-lump.

You just might find

that lucky clover.

It could happen!

After all,

I'm wishing 

YOU

the best!

If you die tonight, 

what stories 

will they tell about

 you tomorrow?  

“ The illegality of cannabis

 is outrageous, an impediment

 to full utilization of a drug 

which helps produce the serenity

 and insight, sensitivity and fellowship 

so desperately needed in 

this increasingly mad 

and dangerous world. ” 

                  Carl Sagan

" I dwell in Possibility -

A fairer House than Prose-

More numerous of Windows - "

so long as you

The Merry Month

is light on her feet,

splashing with color

our souls to entreat.

Her pipes!  Her pipes!

Can you still hear?

Pay heed with joy

They call it Spring

for JUST this thing-

I love You,
