Close One!

"Perfection is achieved,

not when there is nothing to add,

but when there is nothing left to take away."


Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"Silence

is one of the hardest arguments to refute."

“In the pure, immaculate waters,

both the lotus and the slimy scum are found.”


Sri Guru Granth Sahib

There is a gold mist slanting through the harbor this morning.


It looks especially beautiful


when I reflect on how very close I came.


Has it been ten years? It has!


I haven't left the islands in this century.


It seemed so tangible, so close. Folks fly back and forth every day (and we're grateful that you come to visit us)


I was really gonna visit the West Coast,

But it got kinda complicated.


Where to stay? Who and When to meet up with.


So I've decided to remain island anchored for a while longer.



After all: I'm where I really wanna be.


And I'm so very glad that YOU have stopped by!


Warmly, cloudia
