The seasons of my heart

change like the seasons

There are seasons

of wonder and hope,

seasons of suffering 

and love,

seasons of healing...

The Gulf fritillary or passion butterfly (Dione vanillae or Agraulis vanillae. the Gulf fritillary is an introduced, established butterfly there, not a native one. It likely arrived after passion vines were brought to the islands in the 1800s, since its caterpillars depend on passion vine host plants; by the late 1970s it had been recorded on Oahu and then spread to other islands.  Link

                                                                

Praise and blame, gain

and loss, pleasure and sorrow

come and go like the wind.

To be happy, rest like a giant tree

in the midst of them all.

A worthy person is still 
worthy even penniless. 
A donkey is a donkey 
even if finely saddled.
                      Turkish Proverb

Some things feel huge
in the moment,
like they reach everywhere.
But dark days
shrink down small
when we notice,
breathe, and care.

Rice Bird

 

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

The voice of an angel is a melody that carries the whispers of hope, the echoes of love, and the promise of a

brighter tomorrow. Septimus Winner Whispering Hope,

song written in 1868

The beach is

not always a place, Sometimes it is just

a pause in your day when the noise recedes like a tide that knows

when to leave. In the hush

between thoughts, No shoreline in sight, something inside loosens. Horizon behind your ribs. You stand there, not needing to move, no need to arrive, Just feel the waves

that find you. No shoreline in sight, Cloudia Charters

You don’t take a photograph. You ask, quietly, to borrow it. Author Unknown

Make each day

your masterpiece. John Wooden
