Moose Size Pawsabilities In Dance

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

"I dwell in possibility."

Emily Dickinson

Thousand Hand Quan Yin

  Maggie and I love art in all forms. We watched a YouTube video a friend sent us called Thousand Hand Quan Yin. We have never seen this dance before although it has been performed many, many times in over forty countries around the world. Its international debut was at the closing ceremony of the 2004 Paralympics in Athens. The music is beautiful, the movements exquisite, and the dancers magnificent. The Chinese Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe dancers are deaf mutes. They rely on hand signals from the people stationed around them. Maggie and I applaud with all our hands & paws the dancers who dwell in living a life of moose size pawsabilities. It is a beautiful thing to witness.

Pawsing For Poetry

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

"Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words." 

Edgar Allan Poe

Autumn Leaves

  Maggie loves to be read to. She watches, she listens, and she enjoys. Walking in the autumn mornings and finding such beautiful leaves reminds us of some very nice poems. We enjoy listening to the rhythmical creation of beauty in words when the nights get cold & dark. 

Enjoy!

"Besides the autumn poets sing,
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the haze."
Emily Dickinson

"The one red leaf, the last of its clan,
That dances as often as dance it can,
Hanging so light, and hanging so high,
On the topmost twig that looks up at the sky."
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

"October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band."
George Cooper
