Clouderific ~ - taken through the 'cloud roof ' of my car - ( some call them a ' moon roof ' ) - deep blue canvas - perfect for touches of green leaves - and cloud gazing © All rights reserved * found this written down ages ago, on a tattered, much folded piece of paper in my purse.. written by Seneca, a Roman philosopher - "We must take care to live not merely a long life, but a full one; for living a long life requires only good fortune, but living a full life requires character. Long is the life that's fully lived; it is fulfilled only when the mind supplies it's own good qualities and empowers itself from within."
