That Moon River

A L O H A !
Ebb Tide by Frank Chacksfield on Grooveshark

 "  There are a
thousand
T H O U S A N D
reasons to live
this life,
every one of them
Sufficient. "

Marilynne Robinson














" Grace
 has a grand laughter
 in it.”

  Marilynne Robinson









































 “The moon looks wonderful
 in this warm evening light,
 just as a candle flame 
looks beautiful
 in the light of morning.

 Light within light...

It seems to me
 to be a metaphor 
for the human soul, 
the singular light
 within that great
 general light
 of existence.”
 
Marilynne Robinson












" A ship's engine
 far away on the water 
expands the summer-night horizon. 

Both joy and sorrow 
swell 
in the dew's magnifying glass. 

Without really knowing,
 we divine; 
our life has a sister ship, 
 following quietly 
another route. 

While the sun 
blazes behind the islands.  "

Tomas Transtromer

 Thank YOU
for your visit.

Hope YOU found
something you didn't know
that YOU were
looking for.

Leave your comment;
a simple 'Hello' there
is a further
gift.


                            Warmly, cloudia






  "It calms me down right away,
 the quietness 
and the proud look of it;
nothing very bad 
could happen to you there. . . . "    Holly Golightly

  4. Were you on the ROOF to get the cloudy previous pics without a building? I like today's pic with the building rippling back the sun. How's that done? You must be flying off your lanai. DrumMajor

  10. You show such beautiful skies – I think if someone is depressed, just looking at the beautiful colors of the sky can give much peace.

  14. Thank you for reminding me about her, I don't think that I've ever read her but her name comes up from time to time. I've been imagining you as I am reading a whodunit placed in Hawaii and also the book by the Ultraman, Rich Roll, who has run, biked, swam the contests in your fair state.
