Mele Kalikimaka

ALOHA
Dear Friends

Welcome
to
TUESDAY in HONOLULU



click on Claus for a hearty Ho Ho Ho!


"If you could imagine the most incredible story ever, it would be less incredible than the story of being here. . .
When your soul awakens, you begin to truly inherit your life.
You leave the kingdom of fake surfaces, repetitive talk, and weary roles
and slip deeper into the true adventure of who you are and who you are called to become.
The greatest friend of the soul is the unknown. Yet we are afraid of the unknown because it lies outside our vision and our control. . ."


The Aloe is in Bloom!



"Now you realize how precious your time here is.
You are no longer willing to squander your essence on undertakings that do not nourish your true self; your patience grows thin with tired talk and dead language. . . On this journey you begin to see how the sides of your heart that seemed awkward, contradictory, and uneven are the places where the treasure lies hidden. . .

Is your "system" working?




"You develop from your own self-compassion a great compassion for others. You are no longer caught in the false game of judgment , comparison and assumption.
More naked now than ever, you begin to feel truly alive."

John O'Donohue
(All quotes today)





Thank You for Your Visit

    Understanding that nature and nature are shared traits makes the whole unified into a duet of singularity.

    Mahalo for correcting my spelling of Mele Kalikimaka. My Korea Vet neighbor can sing the Bing Crosby version after being in Hawaii during his entire Korean War tour of duty. Beautiful lights all over Paradise!

    Good old Bing! Merry Christmas, Cloudia. Yes, let's play in the snow before it's melting, which it does right now.

    Thanks for the fresh, warm sea breezes. Here I'm listening to the rattle of steam pipes in our 1927 home (don't get me wrong, I love it!) as my sinus passages dry to the point of cracking.... SNEEZE!!!!

    love ya,
    ~M

    Beautiful post, Cloudia! I've been too busy to blog recently, so just in case I don't get the chance to visit again before Christmas Day, here's wishing you a really lovely Christmas, and thank you so much for your treasured bloggy friendship through the year!

    (I wonder if I'd be able to keep my balance on a surf board - I don't think any of us giraffes over here surf! :)

    There are days when I am glad that no systems are working, as it proofs me that there are still things "able to happen" that we cannot control - providing many of such "minutes" you talked about earlier.
    Please have you all a wonderful Christmas.
