"I find love much like a mirror.
When I love another, he becomes my mirror
and I become his,
and reflected in each other's love
we see infinity!"
When I love another, he becomes my mirror

Leo Buscaglia
Sky is full of sweep
and drama
If you really look
there is more going on
than you could possibly take in.
And it's constantly
changing.
The Hawaiians of old
could read the skies.
I must say:
after 25 years
under these,
under these,
they are beginning
to speak
to me.
" I still get wildly enthusiastic
about little things...
I play with leaves.
I skip down the street
and run against the wind. "

Life is busy!
That's a truism of modern life.
Many people feel
that they are on a treadmill
of never completed
tasks & obligations.
They are never
here
because they are thinking
about the next
place.
The voyaging Hawaiians of old
were fully present.
"Be here now"
was not a slogan to them
it was self-evident,
a way of being
in the world.
When they voyaged open ocean,
thousands of miles,
with only stars, waves, birds,
knowledge
to guide them,
they spoke of
"Raising Islands."
Through their Mana
their Spiritual Energy
they brought the mountain
to Mohammed.
They followed the right,
the Pono way
of being
and acting.
and acting.
They blessed and became one
with the canoe,
the crew,
the sea
and sky.
And by maintaining this
presence
they brought the islands
to them.
Over the horizon
first as a bird,
or cloud
or swell,
they raised the island
to which they voyaged.
So be in your present.
Don't 'chase'
Don't 'chase'
Live this very moment.
And when the next arrives
live that one
as well.
And all will be
well.
Bless Us!
Thanks for your welcome visit,
YOUR comments are cherished.
Warmly, cloudia

Being in the moment - wise words and so hard to achieve at times!
Lovely shots.
"Live this very moment." That's the best advice there is.
As always, your post is beautiful and thought provoking. Thanks, xo jj
What a beautiful, meaningful post, Cloudia. You do have to be reminded every so often to live in the present. I'm often thinking of what I need to do next. Thank you.
All very enjoyable pictures, Cloudia, fantastic the three kittens!
Thanks for your photos and words! Groetjes, Wil!
Spendid photos.
lovely post
Lovely post Cloudia. x
Meaningful quotes once again, Cloudia.. have a nice week ahead..
So I see you really like the definition of love by one of Dr Leo's students:D I love your kitties!
Cloudia, such precious wisdom you have shared...be here now...it is where we are, always are, even when we forget. Thank you so much for all of your visits, I'm sorry I've not been the best blog neighbor...but, I have been practicing presence with my family and so it is.
We are definately sisters in SPIRIT. First, I almost died from sheer pleasure when I saw those gorgeous kittens. Second, your post lives deep in my soul. If we could all remember that that is exactly what we are - SOULS/SPIRITS expressing in human form - we would not have to look outside ourselves for happiness. We would realize that we ARE happiness. Brillant post! Cheers my friend!!
baby steps
The kitties made me melt as did the quotes. I hope you have a nice week. =)
I adore my visits through your posts, and quotes, and I especially can relate to Leo Buscaglia's view on life! Thanks, Cloudia and Aloha!!!!!
Something to think about!!
Here with you....
I saw Leo Buscaglia in person a long time ago. He was so inspirational. And so are you.
