What Time Is It?

What time is it?
.
The time is now.
.
Time to take care, have faith, give thanks,
remember fondly.
.
Time to welcome home a good friend,
comfort another,
dance the jitterbug in the wet sand.
.
Time to let love do the heavy lifting.
.
And why not?
.
It's time.

    Where was 'love' when I was unpacking??? ;P

    Nice words Ms. KJ. You always put it out there and give us something to think about or just say 'wow.'

    As I look back on my last post it makes me smile to know you knocked on that very door yesterday.
    Wow!! And you did indeed enter with a happy heart.

    love you~
    Lo

    lo, yesterday was significant! (you know the word i would normally use, right?!)

    i am planning and plotting in my mind the next time there is a knock on the door: a luncheon cafe? an afternoon of drawing? a comfy couch absorbing the wishes and dreams of heartfelt women?

    it is a total pleasure, my dearest friend. that universe: you just never know how it spins its axis...

    What a lovely post! It made me smile throughout!

    Thank you again for the lovely award - it will be posted tomorrow. It was supposed to be today, but I wanted to draw attention to the fires in British Columbia. So...tomorrow!

    I am so happy that you found my blog, because now I know about yours! A warm, welcome place to visit and be inspired!

    audrey, thank you. you are very sweet. the feeling is mutual.

    cs, yes, i'm not out of the emotional woods but my hope and silliness are returning. the ocean rhythm is a salve for me. xo

    marianne, yes, this is a clock made by provincetown artist susan baker. you can google her--she does signs and benches and dogs and all kinds of whimical paintings.

    marion, i was surprised that this phrase came to me from i-don't-know-where but i liked it alot too. i like that you noticed that.

    ms. soulbrush, well, what are your plans for visiting america? inquiring minds want to know....xo

    pattee, hello! it's a damn happy chicken, yes?

    val, why thank you, my dear sweet fabulous friend. i miss you, i miss you, i miss you. xoxo

    ribbon, find a home and get well? i am as of right now officially wishing this into reality for you, esp. the get well part. you bring such wonderful energy and insight into your visits and comments. we need you to be as happy as this clock chicken! xo

    annie,

    the time is now.
    the place is here.

    i said that over and over one summer. to anyone who stopped and asked me the time, i would say, 'the time is now'. he/she would pause for a milosecond, and then we would break into smiles together. xo

    Soulbrush, I know where you could stay in October and you could meet KJ and Lolo and ME......just saying.

    Or, if that is not possible with your schedule, if you'd let us know when you COULD come, I know I would move heaven and earth to meet up.

    I'm afraid it is time for the rain over here. I'm sitting in my veranda and I can hear rain softly pattering on the roof of the veranda.
    I hope it stops so that I can cycle to the railway station.
    And so you see, it is time for different things all over the world.
