MoonDay Monday

A  L  O  H  A - 
Happy Canada Day!

" There are some things 

that are real, 

that you can see, 

that you can observe, 

like the moon, 

and grass and things. 

But for ideas 

to become real, 

they have to be played 

on your senses. "

Jane Campion 


Great explanation for the

importance of Art!






"To ride in the sun"


" I don't want 

a pickle, 

just want to ride 

on my motorsickle. "

Arlo Guthrie 
 













" Nature was here 

a series of 

wonders, 

and a fund 

of delight. "

Daniel Boone

Summer -

 Long days

 long rides

 long smiles
among longtime friends.

 I'm so glad that

 YOU

 are mine, 

 our,

  dear friend

 here at the Spiraling Comfort.

 "A bulwark against the seductions of pessimism."

 Isn't that COOL!?

    Oakland is correct! Looks like the cycles chat a bit before settling into a bit of sleep. DrumMajor

    Pessimism is a legitimate practice of Zen. Thank you very much.

    Canada just HAS to be happy today, as it's not getting the heat like the western U.S. DrumMajor

    Ah - that really is a cool thing for Oakland Lady to say. And so true!
