Fast From Fear

. . . Feast on
ALOHA

Click on the photos :)

"There is no season
 when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on,
 and produce so
pleasant an effect on the feelings,
 as now in October."

Nathaniel Hawthorne





My boat is ever moving,
at a certain time, a certain angle,
a shaft of sun interpolates
and the swinging silver spiral
collaborates
for fleeting seconds
to produce a shadow twin.
Spirals
for EVERYONE!
And then:
gone.




Koko Head



"I am a lonely painter,
I live in a box of paints."

Joni Mitchell 




Noodle Factory.
Enlarge to read the varieties of
noodles :)

"What is not love
is fear.


Anger
is one of fear's most potent
faces.


And it does exactly
what the fearful ego wants it to do:



It keeps us from receiving
 love




at exactly the moment





that we need it 

most."

        Marianne Williamson & cloudia

Beautiful sky shot.

What you say of anger makes me think of a student who acts out for her teachers. The theory is she does that so her teachers won't notice that she is illiterate. She does not act out in my class but lets her peers help her, and she thrives. She is climbing out of her paint box and creating quite a work of art in the process.

Thanks for this post.

The sunlight shining on the piece of timber with the spiral in the corner is delicate and fragile and wins hands down. Joni Mitchell is another brillant songwriter and poet. Best album is Blue worth a listen.

Carol said...

Cloudia said...

Aloha from Casa!

I rode pass that noodle factory just the other day.

Charles Gramlich said...

so hard sometimes to separate the emotions out. They are not nice neat fenced in phenomena in our brains.

Dave King said...

Amen to Williamson!

Daryl said...

Oh now I want noodles for lunch!
