Daily Dose

of Sunlight


Aloha, Friend

Come share these skies-





"Just to be is a blessing. 
Just to live is holy."

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel










"Lethargics are to be laid in the light,
 and exposed to the rays of the sun
 for the disease is gloom."

Aretaeus









A Smile

"What’s in a smile? 
A smile is a silent hello. 
It reassures for a short while, 
and in an instant the world’s set aglow." 

Norma Martiri

Diamond Head is emerald green.
Raveled clouds,
exultant putti,
sing in serried ranks of color

over the faces of water
hover

too much treasure ever to
 discover;

So delight's enough
(it's got to be)
walking 'neith those magic skies. . .

. . . with these eyes. . . 

          What's giving you magic-pause today? cloudia

  16. I enlarged the sunset and palm trees and let myself be drawn in for a rest in the final rays of the sun. If only..... (It's a bitter, freezing cold, white world here just now.)

  20. Have to admit, that there was much Lethargy around today, as the next week is said to be full of strikes once again, making it difficult to plan ahead.

    Playing with building bricks and his first wooden train, made me pause and plan ahead.

    Please have a good start of the weekend you all.
