Carp, Curry, Leaves & Idols

A L O H A!
It's Sunday in Waikiki
and YOU are invited!
click on images to enhance "Tutu ("grandmother") give me a penny to throw."


"So say it loud and let it ring. We are all a part of everything.
The future, present and the past.
Fly on proud bird.
You're free at last."
Charlie Daniels

MMM! Chicken Katsu ("Cutlet") Curry Saimin... ONO! ("Yummy")




"Food, like a loving touch or a glimpse of divine power,
has that ability to comfort."
Norman Kolpas



"Lazy Laugh Hand Out"


"If there is magic on the planet, it is contained in the water."
Loren Eisley


From time immemorial

God was the mystery

beyond comprehension.




Not to be controlled or contained

by mere definition.




But once the church fathers

indulged lofty explanation

in the style and rhetoric

of

Greek philosophy

They unwittingly debased

the Most Magnificent Mystery

into a mere logic-compelling

argument.




But mysteries

are mysteriously "known"

not dissected.

And it is just this

"dissected god"

that has morphed into an

idol.




As the Cloud of Unknowing

drifts above on a

smile.




A L O H A :]

  2. It is well contentment found in the soul knowing that God is God as God knows God to be without a mere definition proffered by a most times foolish creation.

  5. Love your blog, the quotes, and photos that allow reminiscing of Hawaii. Lived there 20 years; worked on Bishop St., commuted over mountains to Temple Valley home and recognize the gift it was, most definitely a special time in my life. Grateful for the experience.

  9. 'say it lound and let it ring' - indeed demands to be read at least aloud, just before starting to scream, Yes, I love.

    Thank you for this 'food of thought' - a wonderful week for you !

  11. And it was our bud Einstein who made the point that the irrational mind was somehow more productive or creative than the rational mind, yet we tend to value the rational mind over the irrational.

    The heart and mind work together. They are a team. One does not dominate the other.

    I enjoyed this post. Thanks, friend.

  13. Beautiful photos and quotes as always. That Charlie Daniels quote sounded familiar for a reason. I also used it on my recent "Evan" post. Great minds.. and all that. :)

  14. Yes, God will remain a mystery until the end of time. Although, He does reveal very little about Himself through the ages. Thanks for the thought-provoking post. Happy Sunday.
