Chapel of Nature; All Welcome

A L O H A, Friend



You are Welcome Inside

Delicate Ladies of Nature Invite Us to Linger,
Wreathed in their best Pink Perfume. . .



“Some people are still unaware that reality contains unparalleled beauties. The fantastic and unexpected, the ever-changing and renewing is nowhere so exemplified
as in real life itself.”
Berenice Abbott





A Sky is Just a Sky . . .
(A Diamond is Just Flawless - That's all!)








“Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere.
Climb the mountain just a little bit to test it's a mountain.
From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.”
Frank Herbert






But Villain Mood May Even High-Jack the Eye!


“You will find poetry nowhere

unless you bring some of it with you.”


Joseph Joubert





Don't let it!
Refuse to board the train of recrimination
when it slides into your station.
Standing with doors open
inviting us inside.


But it only goes
to the end of the line,
never really seeing
the glories
as they skip
and sing past,
oblivious to all
"stinkin` thinkin`"
as we ought to be.

Eat the ice cream!
Cut the cake!
That we save goes mouldy
so dance like
today's the
Day
!



A L O H A
Means "Love" unconditional
to you &
to me. . . . Cloudia

Let others climb mountains I will stay where the ground is tillable that i can grow the wheat to make the cake. I'll save the climbers a piece or two if they bring the ice to make ice cream back with them.

Mustn't let the cake grow moldy!!! I loved the pictures and the quotes and the poetry. Thanks for a great start to another wonderful day.

Some say that you can't see the wood for the trees, and that's so very true. We do miss many beautiful things around us - trees especially.

An excellent post. Alhoa...

Finally able again to visit this comfort for a mind - having various problems upon reaching your site, was more than glad to read what you did write.
A wonderful sight-filled week for you !
