Run Through the Banyan

ALOHA!
Let's just run through the jungle today,
shall We?

Just play the song, and off we go!



Don't forget to click on the trees!


"Don't call the forest that shelters you a jungle."

Ghanan Proverb




"It's ironic, but until you free those final monsters
within the jungle of yourself,
your life,
your soul,
is up for grabs."

Rona Barrett





"Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies,

society, even when perfect,

is but a jungle.

This is why any authentic creation

is a gift to the future."


Camus







"Roaming through the jungle

of "oohs" and "ahs,"

searching for a more agreeable noise,

I live a life of primitivity

with the mind of a child

and an unquenchable thirst

for sharps and flats."


Duke Ellington





"Kindness
is my
Religion."

Dalai Lama


"It's a jungle out there, kiddies.
Have a fruitful day."

Jimmy Buffet

  3. I think it depends on the jungle. There are predators in every jungle and not so much natural selection in some of the worst of them. I prefer to walk anyway.

  6. Places as perfect as the images you show didn't just appear over night and neither can be built with anything that is not alive (it has to grow)
    Visions and goals like that take sticking to the plan, I'll bet the stewards of the land had to follow CC&R's that often seemed a pain.Luckily El Presidente has some authority to persuade compliance (or taught discretion huh) LOL

    that is one cool hobbit land

    Aloha Cloudia

    Aloha from Muskoka, where the daffodils are shivering, the trillium wrap their leaves around themselves in frosty nights. Spring is on the horizon.
