Don't wait for time
to fold the napkin,
to pour happiness,
or cook good health.

At the table
where you gather nourishment,
be the clock.

(big hugggssssss) Yay! Yes, may we all be the clock and live life without focusing on time and let it be absorbed in us like some Salvador Dali landscape! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Surely you've had to endure a great deal to become so wise and strong.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
