Rose Pine Reflections

A  L  O  H  A !
"Trying to be happy by 
accumulating possessions is 
like trying to satisfy hunger 
by taping sandwiches 
all over your body."
           George Carlin




"We look before and after, 
And pine for what is not; 
Our sincerest laughter 
With some pain is fraught; 
Our sweetest songs are those 
That tell of saddest thought."
              Percy Bysshe Shelley






“Here. There. 
Everywhere. 
Somewhere. 
Home.” 
        Jennifer E. Smith

To Know The Place

A  L  O  H  A !
Bird of Paradise

you are no longer 
where you were;

where 
you will get; 
you are 
nowhere exactly.”

from exploration
And the end of 
all our exploring
Will be to arrive 
where we started
And know the place 
for the first time.”

at my life and

A Big Word

A  L  O  H  A !
" If you can't be 
thankful for 
what you have, 
be thankful for what 
you have escaped. ” 
                    John Wayne






These Sea Turtles Inhabit a Construction Fence

Gratitude is
a big word for 
realizing how
lucky
you are
in so many ways
right here - right now





Gratitude
starts as
an idea -







But if it takes root,
gratitude becomes
the texture of
a happy life

write your own ending. 
Keep believing, 
keep pretending. "

Day's Haze

A  L  O  H  A !

Sheltered in a golden coating;

White and dainty 
cloudlets floating. . ."

mother-tongue of 
the human race."

who better could appraise
The kindred spirit 
of an inner haze?"

the greater is the haze 
in which it loses itself."

a haze. . .
