We are people of paradox!
Life’s ironies abound!
Very often going up…
Is the sure way to get down! :-)

We are people of paradox!
Life’s oxymorons are bittersweet!
Just like sweet and sour…
A palatable, satisfying, small-dose treat!

With love from The Kwil Cafe,
(where hot and cold, dark and light, and all juxtaposition makes for wordy word play)

Keep your pencils moving and your keyboards tapping! Novelty and complex thinking keeps your brain’s synapses zippity-zapping! Yippee for neuroplasticity!

I see beauty all around me!
It takes so many forms!
I see beauty all around me!
Nature’s beauty seldom conforms!

I see beauty in Kwilvilians,
In oceans, mountains, birds, trees.
I see beauty in a raging storm,
Thunder, lightning, choppy seas.
All will be as it must be…
Bea-u-ty!

With love from The Kwil Cafe,
(where steaming coffee’s beauty fuels reading and writing play! :-)

Keep your pencils moving and your keyboards tapping! A drop of ink may make Kwillions think! Happy writing and reading everyone!

We live in the modern world
Where golden rules may seem passé!
Strategy and might may make right…
And dog-eat-dog trumps fair play!
(Shakespeare’s famed, ‘Et tu, Brute?’)

But I believe in loving kindness!
Kwilville’s vulnerable deserve our best!
Only as strong as our weakest link…
Our ‘armor’ but a hole-ridden vest! :-)
(Deserving hearts beat in every chest!)

With love from The Kwil Cafe,
(where writing can be a way to ‘pray’ for a more enlightened, heart-felt day)

Keep your pencils moving and your keyboards tapping!

I am a wordy word-lifter!
I do word workouts every day!
Biceps, triceps, hamstrings…
Word-lifting is Kwilicious play! :-)

I am a wordy word-lifter!
My pencil has muscle memory!
Whether poetry or prose…
Word-lifting fills my heart with glee!
YIPPEE! :-)

With love from The Kwil Cafe,
(where word-lifters sip mighty protein-powdered mochas to power super sets each day),

:-) Kwil

Keep your pencils moving and your keyboards tapping! Keep those wordy barbells curling, twirling, whirling! :-)

I love coffee shop ‘characters’
The ‘regulars’ at The Kwil Cafe!
Creatures of caffeine power… :-)
Jump starting every Kwilicious day!

I love rubbing frizzy-fuzzy elbows
Exchanging Kwilville pleasantries
A study in western civilization…
A microcosm of society….
All ‘goggled’ by googly-eyed ME!
Yippee! Tee Hee Hee!

With love from The Kwil Cafe,
(where people watching is artistic play and watchers are also watched–turnabout is fair play! :-)

:-) Kwil

Keep your pencils moving and your keyboards tapping! Practice ‘Naturalistic observation’ with no neck snapping! :-)

Dear Kwil Kids & Kwilsters,

Kwilville’s having a Book Fair
At the Kwilementary School!
Books, journals, pencils, erasers
And learning games so cool!

School libraries are so vital!
They help Kwil Kids to soar!
Imagination and critical thinking
Reading writing, research…
Yearning to learn, express and more!

With love from The Kwil Cafe
(where reading and writing are play!)

:-) Kwil

Keep your pencils moving and your keyboards tapping! A drop of ink may make Kwillions think!

Oh, how I love Scrabble Day!
Word-loving in person and online!
I play with Kwilista and Kwilliam…
Who beat Uncle Kwil every time!
(‘No, Uncle, they don’t have to rhyme!’)

Not only are they word lovers
But they are super strategic youth!
They add on to existing words
Going for doubles and triples too!
Yippee and Yahoo!

With love from The Kwil Cafe,
(where creative, connecting letters and words gets double and triple points each and every day),

:-) Kwil

Keep your pencils moving and keyboards tapping! Keep those Scrabble tiles clickety-clacking!

Today is a special day for moms!
We love you with all our hearts!
We celebrate your talents and virtues,
Your wisdom, compassion, smarts!

You’re the backbone of our families!
You give tirelessly with loving care!
You go beyond the call every time…
Each mom unique yet beyond compare!

With love from The Kwil Cafe,
(where Mrs. Kwil’s memory and spirit join me every day),

:-) Kwil

Keep your pencils moving and grooving and your keyboards tip-tap-zippity-zapping every day!

Dear Kwil Kids & Kwilsters,

Today is Kwilette’s birthday!
It’s a joyous Kwilville day!
Artist, painter, sculptor, mother…
We celebrate my sweet sis today!

As I wrote so many years ago:

I love you Kwilette,
My sister, my friend!
I’ll love you Kwilette,
From beginning to end!

With love from The Kwil Cafe,
(where Kwilette’s paintings and sculptures are on display),

:-) Kwil

Keep your pencils moving and your keyboards tapping! And, like Kwilette, your paintbrushes whirling, swirling and twirling! Have fun creating and connecting with loved ones!

We may climb different mountains
Seeking varied peaks and views!
With diverse passions and purposes
‘Success’ is unique to me and you! :-)

We may climb the same mountain…
Taking divergent or crisscrossing trails!
We may start empty-handed in a valley
Or a luxurious base camp at summit…
The real story of a ‘success’ or ‘fail’
(Whether a rocky, rockin’, riotous rise…
Or a perfectly perfumed plummet! :-)

With love from The Kwil Cafe,
(where deep inner knowing as much as life’s outer showing leads the way),

:-) Kwil

Just BE who YOU are
And DO what YOU do
Then all of life’s treasures
Will come to you!
In fact, they’re INSIDE you!

We all must take ‘responsibility,’
To contribute whether young or old.
Doing our age-appropriate part…
Is to self-esteem and pride
PURE GOLD! :-)

‘Responsibility’ may sound heavy
Implying ‘stuck’ or ‘weighted down’
But… our response ability empowers!
We can turn any ship around!
(Wrestling problems to the ground…
And turning frowns upside down!)

With love from The Kwil Cafe,
(where my response ability keeps my pencil moving and grooving, dreaming and scheming),

:-) Kwil

Keep your pencils moving and your keyboards tapping! It’s the response-able thing to do! :-)
