Let's take a drive, and talk about strolling. . .
click on the random moments
"If you limit your actions in life
to things that nobody can possibly find fault with,
you will not do much."
Lewis Carol (AKA, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson)
"There is no Enter key to change the line,
only the forward progression of time
that allows for no indents, paragraphs or, deletes."
Mark Durfee
"Perhaps all the dragons of our lives
are princesses who are only waiting
to see us once beautiful and brave."
Rilke
"The little things? The little moments?
They aren't little."
Jon Kabat-Zinn

They say that self awareness is to be prized
so I should be happy to know that there is a word for people like me:
I walk around Honolulu - therefore I am.
The fairy terns (in their 3s and 4s) flying out to sea for the day,
the clouds (hello cousins!)
and the faces of people
from all over the world - of every condition
speak to the solitary walker.
My grandma was a great walker
and now it is my main exercise.
(For mind, soul, and even the body).
Passing through the beauty
clearing my head. . .
I'm never without my
camera
or a note pad!
Ideas arise
vague anxieties subside
money-making schemes emerge
and I keep walking. . .
And soon
reliably
I'm feeling restored,
fresh,
yet more my original self
with every passing block and beach.
New / old
past/present/future
dancing for once
in harmony.
The weather in Honolulu has been sunny, bright,
and without sweat
thanks to the (relatively) cool, teasing breezes.
The word perfect comes to mind. . .
So thanks for walking along with me!
You make me a blogger
instead of a bum.
Glad you share these little moments with me.
The "little"
means a lot.
Warmly, cloudia
