My Heart Fluttering

 

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she’s gone
 
It’s “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” by the Beatles !!!???
 
Yes ! No ! 
 
Its Shokupan heaven in marmalade skies !!!

To slice into perfection is when your heart pounds – doki doki !

It’s not possible to spread this marmalade delicately … it’s coarse thick cut in contrast to the delicate Sakura flowers… I am in heaven. Thank you Thank you Thank you is my mantra today.

Unexpected Gift

Thank you lovely – so many talented people with refined skills to marvel at… takes one to know one -so impressed with the stenciled cherry blossoms like art imprinted on the .., crust. It’s professional bakery quality – so impressive.  It is art in the hands of this home baker.

Been feeling rather exhausted and negative with all the dark news … worn out to be honest- it’s a dis-“ease” once it takes a hold of you. Thank goodness though I might have been saved by kind acts – kind words – kind thoughts. Thank you for giving me the lift when feeling low and gloomy. I much appreciate your kindness.  I feel the positive energy transmitted through and through.

True friends are those who are not just around for the parties jokes and fun times ; but also around when the party is over, music fades, candles blown out and darkness cascades over the hushed room. Gratitude for the ripples of light we find with each acts of kindness 🙏

Gratitude… reminded of this quote:

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

-Dalai Lama

I am very grateful today.

Many people I know are struggling too – I hope to reciprocate in kind as I build my resilience- until then, thank you thank you to those kind hearted who makes this world a little brighter with their light.
