ALOHA
Panoramic view off Diamond Head. Tiny surfers show scale.

"Sadness does not inhere in things;
it does not reach us from the world
and through mere contemplation of the world.
It is a product of our own thought.
We create it out of whole cloth."

Friends along the way. He's caught a lizard!

She understands her business

It took work to get this way.”

I don't need a therapist
because I have a motor scooter.
Throttle thrills,
& motor-driven magic
soon dispel the cobwebs
of the day.
Absorbed by movement
on my motorized walk
I glide
I swoop
wheeling like a hawk.
Passing (aye!) through color
sights
& smells.
The closest thing to flying,
this effortless progress of the eye;
A twist of the wrist
and I'm
g o n e. . .
Home to download the pictures
still running
in my mind.
VroooooM!

As long as you do not lose your will to travel you will always have a therapist.
The Diamond Head image is amazing.
Right now there are birds chirping on the branches of a tree, still dormant, outside my house. My therapy, like yours, is free.
I remember when I used to engage in some throttle therapy. I miss those days.
Blogging keeps me sane. Happy day to you, Cloudia!
Love your therapist; it wouldn't work in Scotland though - certainly not at this time of year. The surfers are indeed tiny, I had to enlarge your picture to see them - I thought they were birds at first. Beautiful vista.
All that beautiful sea how lucky you are.
The first photo caught my eye!
Thanks for my daily dose of inspiration.
ALOHAAAA!!

Sounds like freedom to me. I love these pics. That lizard catch is amazing.
Looks as if you are able to carry the sky and its bright light with you. Must feel great being able to call a therapy ones own. Made me think much. Please have a good Friday.

Sorry I've been away. December is my season of discontent every year. I miss reading your blog and will catch up. I need a motor scooter.
Thanks for these cool remarks!
An old motorcyclist saying "You'll never find a motorbike parked at a Psychiatrists Office. And the latest Harley video Ad talks about rthe $10 billion stress relief business, vs "Throttle Therapy." Way cool.
Vrooom! Love it! I felt as if I was riding along too.
What keeps me sane? The goodness of the bloggers I know! The rhythm of the day, my daughter's smile.

My sister rode a motor-scooter. I might even be persuaded to ride one around Hawaii :) Wonderful post Cloudia.
I have thought of getting a scooter for short jaunts. I have a motorcycle for big rides, but would enjoy saving gas.
Happy Greetings to you, Cloudia.. have a nice weekend!
Hawaii would keep me sane - life's a beach!!!
Lovin and living keeps me sane
