Welcome Back To Virtual Hawaii-
"The mind I love must have wild places,
a tangled orchard
where dark damsons drop in the heavy grass,
an overgrown little wood,
the chance of a snake or two,
a pool that nobody's fathomed the depth of,
and paths threaded with flowers planted by the mind."
Katherine Mansfield
" No man is ever free,
and he couldn't stand it
if he was. "

" We relish news of our heroes,
forgetting that we are
extraordinary
to somebody too. "

divides the comic
from the cosmic. "

Every person in your life
from parents, partners & children
to the guy in the next car
is a gift.
There are great,
and small,
gifts.
Some come in
strange packages.
But all are gifts.
How will you
recieve
them?
Thank YOU for being a gift in my life. Share a comment! cloudia

What a calm and serene place that is in the 1st photo and the quote by Katherine Mansfield is spot on to :-).
ReplyDeleteThat Faulkner quote really made me think!
ReplyDeleteReally like the nature photo on the first one !
ReplyDeleteThey otta legalize pakalolo (marijuana), if that's what the protest was about, or partially about. It sure would save a lot of money enforcing arcane laws and the sales tax revenue from pakalolo is a plus.
ReplyDeleteLove the mother and daughter photo Cloudia, they both have the same expression and body pose, and of course the words are so inspirational as always.
ReplyDeleteMahalo friends!
ReplyDeleteAloha Cloudia! How are you?
