Not all things that
fall down break.

Your mind is a ship; 

it can sail across 

the universe as long 

as you don't allow 

negative thoughts to sink it.

* Heliconia is a genus of flowering plants in the monotypic family Heliconiaceae. Most of the 194 known species[3] are native to the tropical Americas, but a few are indigenous to certain islands of the western Pacific and Maluku in Indonesia.[2] Many species of Heliconia are found in the tropical forests of these regions. Most species are listed as either vulnerable or data deficient by the IUCN Red List of threatened species.[4] Several species are widely cultivated as ornamentals, and a few are naturalized in Florida, Gambia, and Thailand.[2]

Common names for the genus include lobster-claws, toucan beak, wild plantain, or false bird-of-paradise; the last term refers to their close similarity to the bird-of-paradise flowers in the Strelitzia genus. Collectively, these plants are also simply referred to as "heliconias". Wikipedia

 There is no sport equal to that

which aviators enjoy

while being carried 

through the air on 

great white wings. 

Wilbur Wright, 

1905

One way can be learned 

by starting to see the 

magic in everything. 

Sometimes it seems to be hiding 

but it is always there. 

The more we can see the magic 

in one thing, a tiny flower, a 

mango, someone we love, 

then the more we are able to 

see the magic in everything 

and in everyone. 

Joshua Kadison

Very little is needed 

to make a happy life; 

it is all within yourself 

in your way of thinking.

The object of life is 

not to be on 

the side of the majority, 

but to escape 

finding oneself in 

the ranks of the insane.

            Marcus Aurelius

Enough

A willow bends

Beside the stream,  

No need to chase

Some distant dream.  

Its leaves just flutter

Soft and slow-  

No urge to stay

No need to go.

A pebble sits

On shallow sand,  

Not diamond, gold

Valuable or grand.  

It simply rests

The sun its friend,  

Content to be

With no pretend.

The world spins on

Bright and gray,  

Clouds gather

Then drift away.  

Within this breath

I softly stay-  

Not lost, not found

Just here

Okay.

There is no such thing as
a simple act of compassion
or an inconsequential
act of service.
Everything
we do for another person
has infinite consequences.
Caroline Myss

The longer I live

life becomes. 

               Frank Lloyd Wright

You cannot find

your soul with your mind,

you must use your heart. 

Gary Zukav

If in our daily life

we can smile,

if we can be peaceful

and happy,

not only we, but

everyone will profit from it.

This is the most basic

kind of peace work.

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.

The moon is alive

because of the darkness-

how could we ever be afraid

of something that gives

the stars a home?

True silence is the 

rest of the mind; 

it is to the spirit 

what sleep is to

the body, nourishment 

and refreshment.

            William Penn

Birds sing after a storm; 

why shouldn't people feel 

as free to delight in 

whatever sunlight 

remains to them?

         Rose Kennedy

Today,  

I woke with nothing to fix.  

Just the gift  

Of morning 

Clear  

And enough.

Night rain washed  

Old worries away.

In the hush before light, 

Feeling like a better day.

  

Voices of the waking drift  

With sparrows in the dawn—  

Near and far

A gentleness is felt 

Optimism

To which I'm drawn.

Outside leaves  

Turn toward sun.  

Their world is simple  

Green, gold,  important 

And fun.  💚

Few delights can equal the mere presence of one whom we trust utterly. George MacDonald

Strive not to be a success,

but rather to be of value.

Savor calm And quiet grace, Forget the stormy Tempest's chase. For in sweet stillness Peace can be found, Here together On sacred ground. Cloudia Charters

I once knew a human,

quite grand, Whose lap was

the best in the land. With a purr and a blink, "More food!" I would think, And right in the bowl

it would land!
