"Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to

come home each day.  It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even

how much closer we become with each other because of them."  ~John Grogan

 

YES!!! I LOVE THIS ONE!!!!

Snowy,

I'm not trying to rush things, but Autumn is such a great time of year.

There's something about it that is especially relaxing, inviting.

Thank you, for the hugs.

Much love to you, Snow

 

PS

Can't mention Autumn without thinking about our Fluterbyee.  It's also her favorite time of year.

We miss you FB

Hi Ins.  You're right about Autumn. Something about it...hmm, I think it brings back warm memories of raking leaves, trick-or-treating, squash and pot pies.

Beautiful picture Ins! And, yes, I miss Fluter too.

Don't set your sights low,

just because someone else has a limited view of life's possibilities.

One person's comfort zone may be another person's cage.

Caged Bird

 

A free bird leaps on the back of the wind

and floats downstream till the

current ends

and dips his wings in the

orange suns rays and dares to

claim the sky.

 

But a bird that stalks down his

narrow cage

can seldom see through his

bars of rage

his wings are clipped and his

feet are tied so he opens his

throat to sing.

 

The caged bird sings with a

fearful trill

of things unknown but longed

for still

and his tune is heard on the

distant hill

for the caged bird sings of

freedom.

 

The free bird thinks of another

breeze

and the trade winds soft

through the sighing trees

and the fat worms waiting on a

dawn-bright lawn and he

names the sky his own.

 

But a caged bird stands on the

grave of dreams

his shadow shouts on a

nightmare scream

his wings are clipped and his

feet are tied so he opens his

throat to sing.

 

The caged bird sings with a

fearful trill

of things unknown but longed for still

and his tune is heard on the

distant hill

for the caged bird sings of

freedom.

 

- Maya Angelou

Thank You, for ongoing encouragement/inspiration.   

If only you could see this thread through my eyes.  Thank YOU.  I'm still struck by the earlier Maya Angelou quote about the free and the caged birds!

 

Sorry I ducked-out for a while, I was a bit self-absorbed, but I kept reading along.. thinking..
