Hearing Bells

A L O H A !
click on photos to enlarge!
"Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen."
Mark Twain


Surfers and Sailors Delight
"The open-minded see the truth in different things: the narrow-minded see only the differences."
Unknown


Here's Your Table!

I found a tiny "sleigh" bell
and slipped it on my hoop earring.
Now everywhere I go
even amidst the roar
of traffic
or surf
I'm reminded of the
Angels hovering
just above
my shoulder.

It's Saturday in Summer;
Go Play!

Great photograph - The 1st one.

What a wonderful idea - the sleigh bell on your earring! :)

We've been finding white feathers for the past few days - Angels?

Mark's idea would give us too much of a clue as to how long we had left, would it not?

Aloha, Cloudia. What a delightful way to start Saturday morning. Thanks for the photos and the reminder about play.

But I have been out and playing since 0130, I think it's about nap time.

Reader Wil said...

Aren't you lobsided? You should add a sleighbell on your other earring as well!!

Dina said...

Did you REALLY?!

Hi Cloudia, I love the picture with the sailboat and the surf and your quote about being open-minded and narrow-minded.

I just have one question: Does hanging a bell on your earring make you a ding-a-ling? :)

Have a wonderful Saturday playing in God's playground. Hope you hear lots of angel voices...

The Mark Twain quote is so on the money and reminds me of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
