Within and Without

A  L  O  H  A !

Caution: Clicking Pictures may cause disorientation & dreaming
Some, happy 
 walk together
 in life's sunny 
 and pleasant
 places.

















Some languish
 & anguish

alone.


















Consider these 

little princes


















God gives us flowers daily.














Sometimes barely noticed-
though they ever glow

























Some are high-
beyond grasping,
but admirable
just the same



























Even underfoot, 
they radiate beauty


















to the habitue of 
noticing-























Wonders 
are commonplace


























Within & without
 dance-























- and trade places
If you will stop doing
long enough
to LOOK







Thank YOU
for looking
over here!


Your glance,
you thoughts,
enlighten
my world



                    Warmly, cloudia

A thought came to me. There are certain children that walk around with their eyes wide open, even often stopping to touch things with their little finger. Always keeping back so many paces, taking it all in, while a few other children (always)run wildly all the time, as if grasping for the next something. Now I wonder 15 years from now, how they will live each day before them?

I'm always stopping to look and observe. I do love nature and flowers and the sky and such. Isn;t that big tree in Maui?

You live in such a beautiful place. I guess it could be hard to single out and notice the details. But you do. And I'm glad because you share them with us.

a lot of Waikiki people have their private spot staked out in Waikiki town. When I sorta sense that's the case, I just give a quick hello and continue on my way.

A nice walk you had, fantastic pictures.

Your second image strikes home with such sadness, but the most telling, I think, is:

Sometimes barely noticed-
though they ever glow

Superb post.
