saved them from drought, disease, avalanches,
and a thousand tempests and floods.
But he cannot save them from fools."

In both these, to be graceful,
it is requisite that there be no appearance of difficulty."

Next time you are having difficulty
making a decision,
you can try this.
Just ask yourself:
"If I was enlightened,
what would I do?"
The answer might just arise,
ready or not!
Thanks for visiting today!

On the most beautiful beach of Martinique Island there we some coconutree almost layed on the sand. Everytime we went to the beach we has our favorite tree. But on last time in autmun 2007
the beach had not the same appearance, because the hurricane "Dean" passed over there.
We have most of the answers
but we don't like some of them.
Then it's easier to continue like yesterday...
Aloha from Cairo! :)

Hmm. Beauty that appears effortless? You mean, like this blog of yours, dear Cloudia? ;-)
All saying in their different ways that just living is not enough.
Thank you Cloudia.

That sunshine sure looks nice!
I loved your quote on gracefulness.You are right we need mother nature's blessing on each and every day of our life.Pictures are great!!Aloha Cloudia.
If you're not enlightened, I'm not sure you can even ask that question.
I am a tree-hugger. One of our favorite places is King's Canyon and the land of the giant sequoias, John Muir country. I am going to do my best to pretend I'm enlightened today, because if I pretend, it could actually happen. ;-)
I take a mini vacation every time I come here. Thank you.
It was a long trip but I made it .. I have missed your calm, your lovely sunshine spirit ..aloha sistah!
Aloha you lovely friends!!!!!
Love this!

I often have those kind of conversations with myself ;) So lovely feeling the warmth of Hawaii through your post Cloudia, in more ways than one :)
I had that experience this week. I wanted to respond as a better person than I was feeling I was. Because I was mad. So I got out of myself and over the speed bump I was making of myself. Great post, Cloudia.
Aloha from Seattle! I also think we know what the answers are, for us. Sometimes we just need to dig really deep to unearth them!
Jolly to see ya!
Excellent advice as always.
Have a terrific day. :)
Hello Cloudia,
so wonderful to see into your sunny colorful world!
Great advice, Cloudia. School is back in session, and Tuesdays are 12 hour plus days, so I'm a day late on the comments, but I love your wise words.
