Aloha, Friend!
click on the pics!
Let's take the plant for a drive.
"What is it
to be a gentleman?
The first to thank
and the last to complain."
Serbian Proverb
"Full many a flower
is born to blush unseen
and waste it's sweetness
on the desert air."
Thomas Gray
"The weak
can never forgive.
Forgiveness
is the attribute
of the
strong."
Gandhi

Spring is coming back around,
unless you live in the southern hemisphere.
Then yours is our twin counter-circle.
Circles in circles:
we Dance!
The circuit of the Earth
is in our DNA.
It's part of us,
the part that
makes us
"we."
All inside the ring.
Easter, Passover,
April fools,
the ecclesiastical year,
are layered atop
forgotten
or fading
folk faiths:
The last vestiges
of most ancient ways.
All the way back
go the links of life's chain;
to the city, through the clan,
and into the cell itself-
We are all born together
into this regime of circles,
of seasons
of moons
of years.
Oh beginning, middle,
and end!
Oh birth,
oh death,
oh today.
(One of 365)
Completing another circuit
we begin.
Aloha, cloudia
Pretty flowers and green plant !
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter time and Aloha, Cloudia !
The weak
ReplyDeletecan never forgive.

Every day is the completion of a day, a week, a month, a year, a century, a millennium, a lifetime. Every flower is the same.
