Change

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.

Ode to Fuzzy-Mo

You are so sweet and kind, my Fuzzy, Fuzzy-Mo,
You are so gentle and fuzzy, my Fuzzy, Fuzzy-Mo,
You are so cute and cuddly, my Fuzzy, Fuzzy-Mo,
You have the greatest butt-fluff, my Fuzzy, Fuzzy-Mo,
You have the smooshiest wattles, my Fuzzy, Fuzzy-Mo,
You are so cute when you sleep, my Fuzzy, Fuzzy-Mo,
I love helping with your dust baths, my Fuzzy, Fuzzy-Mo,
I love you so much . . . more than you know, my Fuzzy, Fuzzy-Mo.
