Rambles

It's
ALOHA Wednesday
here in
W A I K I K I

come in, rest your fingers, click on a photo or two; pop open a treat!


"By the river the blue heron stands
and waits, poised in the long patience.
Here the world offers itself, wave after wave
of mountains washing across the miles.
Here the sparrow sings from the sycamore.
I lift my voice
and come down to earth
here."

Jeff Daniel Marion





"A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world."
Leo Buscaglia





I remember the temple, this route I've traveled before,
I recall the bridge as I cross it again.
It seems the hills and rivers have been waiting,
The flowers and willows all are selfless now.
The field is sleek and vivid, thin mist shines,
On soft sand, the sunlight's colour shows it's late.
All the traveler's sorrow fades away,
What better place to rest than this?

Tu Fu

Some days
there is nothing I want to say.
Then it is good
to remain
silent;
Yet
I long to reach out
and say:
"Aloha"
to you
my friends.
And so a picture,
a flower,
a quote.
Will be the token
I leave here for
you.

Thank YOU so much for taking the time to visit today!
ALOHA, cloudia

Thiqs morning Gioogle does not want to translate your post.
Beautiful first photo with nice reflection and I like very much the quote of Leo Buscaglia.
Un seule rose fait mon jardin et un seul ami, mon monde.
