Premium Member THREE WISE MONKEYS AND FOUR BUDDHAS
For years I had three wise monkeys seated on the table where I write. They would greet me every morning when I first turned on the light. Reminding me in life…whatever my desires….wants and needs… to do the best I can each day to avoid evil thought and deeds. Reminding me that even though I’m just one person I must...

Premium Member where are my flying monkeys Poindexter
Where are my flying monkeys, Poindexter? I woke up with this in my head one day. It inspired me to draw a painting and smile until noon. I threw the paint on this, and my feelings got bigger and brighter. As I add color to my canvases, I feel I am adding hope to myself. Painting makes every day joyful...

Do not poke spiders, pythons, alligators or crocodiles! Mommy had said. Monkey thought she was too cautions, always living way up in her head. He did not even know what a python was, so he poked a stick at a snake. Not recognizing his move was not good, until python’s tail gave a shake. He was being chased around...

Are they lions? My child asked, staring. They were monkeys, all chattering and daring. Why are they in a huddle? The little one asked. No idea how to answer, glad they weren’t masked. They have been in our tree house, my bracelet is gone. To get it back would take a godmother and wand. I am sure they are on this...
