Eye Path

Aloha to

Patiently Playing 'Second Fiddle'

the inexpressible comfort
of feeling safe with a person - "

to people who make us happy, 
they are the charming gardeners 
who make our souls blossom. "

is one of the fundamental needs
of human beings. "

Every experienced motorcyclist knows
NOT to look at the rock ahead of you
in the road.
The bike will follow your eye;
Look at the path AROUND the obstacle
and that is the way you will go.
        Just like life. . .cloudia

Sound advice Cloudia! It's the bigger things, like the counties where the rocks reside that you have to worry about, getting past those mens, to get to the whyv's that's the quest Jon.

Aloha Cloudia! Glad to see everything is smoothing out a bit there for you.
Even the water here with the big moon is making tides lower than I've seen here before.

Great pics, cute chiwawa too-
The pic below of the sunset is so amazing also!

Wish I had money for a motorcycle now, the fuel is too expensive for cars! You find the best qoutes!

Aloha Cloudia! I love the balloon guy!!

Kay said...

I'll try my best to stop looking at those rocks.

the walking man said...

A rock in the road is not obstacle unless of course your riding standing on the seat...then it could be a hazard. Besides I always looked at them with my blind left eye.

Akelamalu said...

I really like this. I must stop looking at those rocks, maybe I'll stop falling.

Charles Gramlich said...

That's hard to learn but absolutely necessary. You go where you look.

Junosmom said...

Just like riding a horse: look where you are going, not where you are. If only we all lived that way.

nazelet said...

Just found your blog and decided I'd read it last overnight. Lovely photos and such lovely quotes and poetry.
Love that little dog.
