Luminosity
A L O H A !
“I believe that there is
luminosity hiding in the
shadow of the mundane. -
-And things that hover
at the periphery of
our vision. If that’s
magic, then I
believe in it.”
Natasha Mostert
“I try to live in the
luminosity of things.”
Meia Geddes
🌟
"Let YOUr Light Shine.
How many times
we have heard that.
As if it were easy,
as if it were natural.
Which strangely
it becomes
but only after
the hard parts.
And the hard parts
are all through life.
Their faces and fears
do change. But
fortunately so do we.
So keep on trying,
successively approximating,
that's the glory in the LUX:
While freely given,
we must freely share it,
often with obstacles
and fears in the mix.
So here's to YOU,
Light Bringer.
Thank YOU
for shining -

Heron Isle In Golden Time
A L O H A !
Where do the Great White Heron Go?
During takeoff we see the S neck
retracting to flight-tight position.
At end of day, in Golden Time
the isle across the lagoon
shows her white spots
mellowing by the minute
to rose gold.
This is Heron Island if you please!
Though an Egret or two,
white doves who flew,
may keep up the theme
soon to be a rabid Meme!
"Welcome to Heron Isle!"
Spots on the beach
are going for fifty thousand!
Not just any feathered clown may land
only the brothers and sisters in white
flush with many fish and
hours of day-lit flight.
Welcome to Heron Isle!
"Away from the tumult
of motor and mill
I want to be care-free;
I want to be still!
- I'm weary of doing things;
weary of words
I want to be one
with the blossoms
and birds."
Edgar A. Guest

For Your Skin
A L O H A !
"We have to slow down
and deal with what
is troubling us, so that
we can enjoy the
simple joy of being
happy and at peace
with ourselves.”
Jess C. Scott
“There is a perfection
in everything that
cannot be owned.”
Anaïs Nin
"There are people who
would love to have
your bad days."
Banksy
Do you have dry skin, like me?
Eczema? Itching?
You may get relief
from Kukui Nut Oil
Kukui nut oil is
pressed from the
kukui nut(or candlenut)tree.
Full of essential fatty acids,
vitamins and antioxidants,
it has been used for centuries
by Hawaiians to protect
babies, improve dry skin,
and to heal wounds.
[It is a miracle for
hemorrhoid itching]
Accompanying Polynesian voyagers
to the islands, the Kukui tree
has always had spiritual
significance to Hawaiians.
The Kukui nut was
burned for light,
and so has qualities
of light,
knowledge, wisdom.
Lei of Kukui Nut
like large black beads,
are still seen in
the islands.
"Ku'i 'ia ke kukui
pili ke aloha
Pili ke aloha
kau maila e
Kukui aloha o
Kohala e.
Connect with light,
Connect with love,
The love and light
of Kohala."
Hawaiian Wisdom Saying

Novato A Country Town
A L O H A !
Mural Detail, Reichert Ave; Novato CA
[All Below As Well]
“Earth provides enough to
satisfy every man's needs,
but not every man's greed.”
Mahatma Gandhi
 |
| Farms, Novato Creek, Water Birds. We all want to be in the carriage |
“Don't think of yourself
as a surrogate mule,
think of yourself as an
entrepreneur of the physical.”
George Saunders
“Shoving feathers up your butt
does not make you a chicken.”
Brad Pitt
 |
| 'Do I look as cute & fluffy as you?" |
“This is what a place like
this does to you. It
makes you put words
in the beaks of chickens.”
Danielle Paige
“It was incomprehensible to
Ricky that anyone could find
Milburn boring: if you watched
it closely for seventy years,
you saw the century at work.”
Peter Straub
And so with Novato. One feels part
of the history of such a place.
From the first inhabitants,
to the Spanish, Sir Francis Drake,
all the Pioneers, Founders,
Farmers, Road & Bridge Builders.
They built a town.
