Writing in the Park

A  L  O  H  A !
Morning's Nursery, Pink & Blue
" The difference between

fiction and reality?

has to make

sense. "

Monstera & Aruba Blue by Essie
" Things need not have happened
 to be true. 
Tales and adventures
 are the shadow truths
 that will endure 
when mere facts 
are dust and ashes
 and forgotten. "

Neil Gaiman 













Cast a Long Shadow (Java Finch)
" Poetry is an echo,
 asking a shadow
 to dance.
Carl Sandburg

Much of what I share
with You here
is written during my 
morning walks
  in Waikiki.

Standing,
writing in my palm
in the park.

It's as if you 
are walking with me.
Every day!

Then I visit your site,
and walk along
with you for a while.

I love our 
conversation

NICE!


Thanks for walking along,

Jeepers, that's an early walk if the bird's shadow is so long. Hey, I see blue skies, and blue toes, too!
Mahalo for getting us around town.

I've never thought of it that way, but the image of us walking and conversing on Waikiki fits just fine!

Tom Clancy made sense there,

That Java Finch is most handsome!

Aloha!

I love going on walks with you. So beautiful. The finch, the fern (was that a fern?) and Sandberg's quote stood out for me. But it is all beautiful. Thank you.

Lucky I know it's a Java Finch!
They flip over cards to tell
fortunes in Asia - so I used to call them "Fortune Telling Birds."


How JOLLY each of you is to visit with us like this!
