Cats…by Magic Mixture – Magic Mixture

How about being like a cat…?

silent, independent

lively, charming

observant, restrained

felines are mystical

mythical, multiple

Variables in mood…

In nature, in color

Ah, how about being like a cat?

And foot by foot

Sneaky and underhanded…

Conquer the day, tame the fury

melt the hard hearts

Wear a sweet little look

From whom everything, wants, can

And you know…

That with softness and delicacy

We take back the lost tenderness

We rescued humanity from coldness

We smile again

I am going to try…

Quiet, confident and determined

Like a cat ❤🐈

One of the many things I adore about my honey is how he loves a good challenge. Persistence is Khashayar’s middle name, when it comes to puzzles and games of strategy. I’m trying to learn from that, given that novel writing demands (more about my books here) heaps of patience and problem solving.

This morning he totally nailed a New York Times crossword puzzle (they offer printable freebies) — in ink, no less!

Se está escrito no coração, grade é a preciosidade do que não se limita a riqueza, mas excede em valor. A vida tem a sua importância pautada no que, não se negligencia, nem se negocia. O erro de muitos é se valer que, por serem proprietários de suas próprias ganancias, os seus prazeres estão nelas. Não! Estes são apenas donos de misérias gloriosas. Quem usa realmente a sabedoria a seu favor, compreende que a vida não se basea no que é em vão. As coisas verdadeiramentes preciosas ao ser humano, ecoam através de uma consciência que não se limita ao que é material, mas que traz lucidez ao que é ético em seu íntimo, o que emana paz, saúde e, faz-lhe descansar sobre àquilo que é visto como digno. É essa a consolação que não o distância de quem é: ser imperfeito.

♫ New York, New York ♫ (Redux)

Filosofa's Word

No particular reason for this redux other than as I scrolled through the archives, it caught my eye and I suddenly wanted to hear it again!


Sometimes a bit of nostalgia isn’t a bad thing, y’know?  My first 18 years were spent between San Francisco and New York, with a few other locales thrown in for fun … my father was what’s known as a “troubleshooter”, which took us back and forth, here and there, hither and yon.  Much of what molded me, however, came from the two aforementioned cities.  That was where I learned that “people is people” no matter what their skin colour, or what kind of house they live in.  That’s where I learned to embrace the differences, take joy in the exchange of cultures, to try new foods, speak new languages, and enjoy it all.  Y’know, people say that big cities are cold, dangerous places, but…
