A L O H A !
Good things
happen slowly.
happen slowly.
Abigail Thomas
I am learning how
to speak up when
something's wrong
without being motivated
by anger and becoming
part of the problem.
We are settling into
this house, this life
by the wetlands.
No crowding, no traffic,
no sweating!
a cruise all day
with waterbirds and
sea birds, nearby
sea birds, nearby
flying right over.
Pixie Cat is loving it too
and realizing that she
really has room to run!
[and relax]
It is very sunny, bright
and gorgeous like a perfect
Trade Wind day in Hawaii,
but a bit chiller -
nicely so I think.

Things I am Remembering:
[of cooler climes]
Warming one's fingers to play.
Things one touches or picks up
being cold to the touch, not warm!
Washing hands with long sleeves.
The silence when the heat shuts off.
The comfort when the heat turns on!
Smell of woodsmoke, and the sounds
of the country, when I step outside
in the evening to take it ALL in.
This is very much like the country
outside of Philadelphia where
I spent the first 10 years of my life.
Memory is stirring - or perhaps it
is just a function of growing older.
Life and Earth are
Lovely things!
Life and Earth are

ReplyDeleteGood things happen slowly; but they're also worth waiting for.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you're pleased!
ReplyDeleteVery nice to see the transition you are making and finding simple pleasures and stirring old memories.
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time I lived in El Cerrito. My neighbors were from Hawaii. There would be days when I'd say to them it almost feels like Hawaii, but cooler. They kinda thought I was a bit crazy. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're happy in your new place!!
ReplyDeleteThanks
ReplyDeleteAll lovely things indeed. Yay for Pixie and running space too, so happy that you all enjoy your new adventures.
