" You must not pity me 

because my sixtieth year 

finds me still astonished. 

To be astonished

 is one of the surest ways 

of not growing old

 too quickly. "

Colette

" Sometimes 

you can tell a

 large story 

with a

 tiny 

subject. "

Eliot Porter

The Stamens on Lilies 

look like cell/mobile phone

towers.

And who is this?

Another ant steals

the scene!

Don't be shy now!

Pick up your head

and say "Aloha"

to the people.

" Shall I not have

 intelligence with the earth?

  Am I not partly leaves 

and vegetable mould 

myself.  "

How good to walk outside.

My head cold is abating,

I'm one of the lucky ones.

"Healthy People Problems"

That's what I've got,

Hallelujah!

I have a friend 

who has MS.

He is much stronger

than I.

What a pretty statement,

beginning,

and ending,

with

" I "

Cause it's all about 

me.

As YOU

are all about 

you.

Except 

when we're

not.

That is something

very special

that happens

here - 

but not only 

here.

Except that when

it is occurring

we are always 

"Here"

indeed,

a very special

place beyond

time space fear.

My friend is strong

despite his body

his " I "

that will not 

cooperate.

Those of you

living with

chronic issues

have my deepest

respect,

more than that:

my Aloha,

my love.

Because we all have 

this commonality,

that someday,

healthy or struggling

we all

go into

Mystery.

What a privilege

to be one

among you.

Dedicated
to my Friend.
He knows
who he
is.
