Before you were famous
By just a few years
You came and found shelter
Under eaves from the rain.
I welcomed you in and
Friends we became.
You painted and sculpted.
Now it’s us who remain, one of five cats.
That you know by name.
Happy #Caturday
🎨David Hockney 1955, “Cat”
I love to sit in silence
Beneath the shady trees
And listen to the song of birds
And to the buzz of bees.
I love to sit in silence
And watch the clouds roll by
Then read a book or sing a song
And hear the wild bird cry.

Ingrid had travelled all the way from Sweden, to do what her favourite actor Anita Ekberg did in the film La Dolce Vita by Federico Fellini — only to find out, that it was no longer legal to splash around in the waters of the Fontana di Trevi. No wonder she was devastated.
Good Morning ☀️

In the stillness of the quiet,
if we listen, we can hear the
whisper of the heart giving
Strength to weakness,
Courage to fear,
Hope to despair. - (Howard Thurman)

What we share is a thread of quiet light,
fragile as breath,
yet steady as dawn —
Needing
no promise,
no claim,
no right,
only the truth of being drawn.
