And that sweet city 

with her dreaming spires,

She needs not June for 

beauty's heightening...

    Matthew Arnold

The life of our city is rich 

in poetic and marvelous subjects. 

We are enveloped and steeped 

as though in an atmosphere 

of the marvelous; but 

we do not notice it.

          Charles Baudelaire

Protect The Mops!

Any city however small, 

is in fact divided into two, 

one the city of the poor, 

the other of the rich.

These are at war 

with one another.

    Plato

They cannot take away 

our self-respect if we 

do not give it to them.

Most of the shadows of this life are caused 

by our standing in one's own sunshine.

                           Ralph Waldo Emerson

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, 

always bring your own sunshine.

Anthony J. D'Angelo

𝌀

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, 

wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating;

There is really no such thing as bad weather, 

only different kinds of good weather.

🜚🜚

On a bumpy flight,

we look to the 

flight attendants.

Searching their faces

we decide how frightened 

[or not] to be.

Our brains are social.

Automatically reading

the environment,

especially faces,

to make sense of things

and to decide how to feel.

What message

are You broadcasting?

In these unsettling times

who is countering

polarization?

Calmer, connected people

make better choices.

This election year,

please do your part.

Love You,

Cloud Glory

A   L   O   H   A  !

Clouds are the sky's imagination.     

      Terri Guillemets

You can become blind 

by seeing each day 

as a similar one. 

Each day is 

a different one, 

each day brings 

a miracle of its own. 

It's just a matter 

of paying attention 

to this miracle.

             Paulo Coelho

Clouds can never hide the sun forever; 

so don't complain about clouds but 

never forget to welcome the sun.

Side Streets are not Wide Streets

. . . my hometown. Those are the streets 

I walked when I was learning to walk. 

And it's the place that my imagination 

has returned to more than anywhere else. 

                         Salman Rushdie

High Skies Are Wide Skies

A cloud does not know why it moves 

in just such a direction and at such a speed... 

It feels an impulsion... this is the place to go now. 

But the sky knows the reasons and the patterns 

behind all clouds, and you will know, too, 

when you lift yourself high enough 

to see beyond horizons.

               Richard Bach

Apple Bananas, Shorter & Wider Link

An old banana leaf was 

once young and green.

          Nigerian Proverb

Believe it or not, bananas do contain 

a small quantity of Musa Sapientum bananadine, 

which is a mild, short-lasting psychedelic.     

William Powell

Critter on Wide Wheels

In order to share one's true brilliance 

one initially has to risk looking like a fool: 

genius is like a wheel that spins so fast, 

it at first glance appears to be sitting still.

To be obliged to beg our 

daily happiness from others bespeaks 

a more lamentable poverty than that of 

him who begs his daily bread.

Blessing The World

Grace is available for each of us every day 

- our spiritual daily bread - but 

we've got to remember to ask for it 

with a grateful heart and not worry about 

whether there will be enough for tomorrow.

Big Little Things

A   L   O   H   A  !

I embrace my shadow self. 

Shadows give depth and 

dimension to my life. 

I believe in embracing 

my duality...

 as illumination.

           Jaeda DeWalt

Little things seem nothing, 

but they give peace, 

like those meadow flowers 

which individually seem odorless 

but all together perfume the air.     

      Georges Bernanos

Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, 

but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, 

and small obligations given habitually, are 

what preserve the heart and secure comfort.

                 Humphry Davy

Perfect happiness is a beautiful sunset, 

the giggle of a grandchild, the first snowfall. 

It's the little things that make happy moments, 

not the grand events. Joy 

comes in sips, not gulps.
