while you have it.

Life is a splendid gift.

There is nothing

small in it.

Calm And Quiet

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Savor calm
And quiet grace,
Forget the stormy
Tempest's chase.

For in sweet stillness
Peace is found,
Here together 
On sacred ground.

A happy family is but

an earlier heaven.

The Fly

God in his wisdom
made the fly
And then forgot
to tell us why.

Neon At Dusk

From

It's important to

surround yourself
with good people,

interesting people,
young people, young ideas.
Go places, learn new stuff.
Look at the world with wonder -
don't be tired about it.
Angela Bassett

The sign hums softly
above the fading street,
a happy electric heart
that ever so brightly beats.

And all at once
evening is not empty
but lit with longing,
and seemingly friendly.

Here’s to the vulture,

unloved at first view—

still worthy of friendship,

and maybe love too.

Wind holds their secrets,

sun warms their wings,

they cherish all manner

of unlovely things.

But if you should see them

in twilight above,

remember: 

even vultures

are worthy of love.

Be an opener of doors

Ralph Waldo Emerson

In the light of calm and

steady self-awareness,

 inner energies wake up 

and work miracles...

Nisargadatta Maharaj

I am watching you

just to keep you company with my quiet eyes.

When you sigh,

I feel it in my whiskers.

I follow the sunlight of you

like a small cloud,

drifting room to room.

I blink slowly—
a tiny prayer.
This is where love lives.

This is how we purr
the world into balance.

Truly appreciate life, 
and you'll find that 
you have more of it.
               Ralph Marston

Ulu (Breadfruit) (Artocarpus altilis), Tree of the mulberry family (Moraceae). It's large fruits are a staple food of the South Pacific and other tropical areas. Breadfruit contains considerable amounts of starch and is seldom eaten raw. It may be roasted, baked, boiled, fried, or dried and ground into flour.

Ulu is such an iconic motif!

The leaves and breadfruit itself

are a historic and popular

Hawaiian Quilt Pattern.

The breadfruit is a superb tree, about 60 feet high, with deep green, shining leaves, a foot broad, sharply and symmetrically cut, worthy, from their exceeding beauty of form, to take the place of the acanthus in architectural ornament Isabella Bird "Fascinating Woman Explorer"

beautiful places where light and shade

Then the light moves on.

Imagination

can do strange things

in wild places

loosening the edges

of what we call real

I'm not lost—

just rearranged

 For a moment

belonging to everything

that cannot 

be explained.
