Entering a new territory. In a transferable sense or in the physical way, we all do it at least once in a while. Some hate it and prefer to stay in the known places others cannot live without the incentive and the exciting of the 'new'. Most of us are somewhere in between. You can also see this mix in animals. The wagtail and the watchful nose that accompany each other. I think entering new areas and rediscovering ourselves is what keeps our life alive.

Love is a place

and through this place

Love moves

all places

Cats and dogs supposedly differ so much that they can't make a harmonious match. I am always happy when I see evidence of the proverbial exception to the rule. For me, that indicates that the 'rules' are not so necessary at all. And that the most beautiful combinations in art and love usually originate outside the established order. The area where the head has stopped and the heart takes over. :-)

Hold on to me, pretty baby, and
You'll see I can be all you need"

There once was a little princess who first was not accepted by her father because he rather had a son. I am not going to tell you the whole story but the princess runs off disguised as a beggar in a catskin coat. She wants to attend the ball to dance and of course the prince of the ball falls in love with her. Her father feels guilty that he once rejected her and is incredibly pleased that he now finds her happy and well so end good all is good.

Sometimes life is like a Fairytale. In which a tough girl who always had to take care of herself suddenly finds someone who appreciates her for who she is. So now she can finally admit to her softer side too:-)

Put On Your Cat(s)kin And Dance

And what nice coincidence in nature the willow catkin stands for love and protection.:-)

So that's why it became a series of three

You, kind soul

are still the child who gently places fallen baby birds

back in their nests.

You, are still the soft soul

that gets your heart broken over cruel words

You, are still the gentle heart who once tried to heal a flower

by trying to stick it's petals back

when ignorant feet trampled it.

This is why you are important

This is why you will always be needed.

Kindness is the greatest endangered thing.

And there you are, existing,

with your heart so full with it.

after Nikita.Gill.
