Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. |

In every joy which kindness triggers, flashes a flicker of that wild joy of limitless belonging. |

Sharing with Saturday's Critters
--------------------
I'm now listening to this book. It takes place in nearby Henderson County NC. It's read by a black woman, and is about a family through several generations (I think it's fiction.)
“Once upon a time, when women were birds, there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn and to sing at dusk was to heal the world through joy.”
— Terry Tempest Williams

Women are still called birds by some, or maybe that has passed.
ReplyDeleteYet it's interesting to ponder how in nature, the males of the bird species are the ones who have the decorative looks and dance to attract their mates.
DeleteSorry folks, it took me several hours of reading blogs to notice I'd not put up the link to Saturday's Critters here. Hope it's ok with everyone, after all, my mental acuity is out to lunch.
ReplyDeleteLots of good stuff here! The smiling angel may be my favorite though.
ReplyDeleteAnd why are puns so very groanable?
Me too, just loved that stonecutters way back then had a sense of humor.
DeleteHello Barb,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post, I love the cute funnies. The kitties trapped are cute.
If only the whole world could feel joy!

ReplyDeleteThat stone angel's expression is priceless! Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI ADORE the picture of the (very young) boy band!
ReplyDeleteThat's the sound of me applauding this post
ReplyDeleteThanks for the smiles :)
ReplyDeleteYou had me smiling from start to finish, Barb. The angel was beautiful, the cats were perfectly trapped, and those puns absolutely deserved every groan. Such a joyful post.
