None Has Quite Escaped My Smile

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Light Bite
Where the bright seraphim
in burning row
Their loud uplifted
angel trumpets blow.
John Milton






Greenly Relief

i thank You God for 
most this amazing
day: for the leaping 
greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; 
and for everything
which is natural which is 
infinite which is yes

(now the ears 
of my ears awake 
and now the 
eyes of my eyes 
are opened)

Edward Estlin Cummings 
(1894–1962)

This poem was originally published in Xaipe1 
(New York: Oxford University Press, 1950),








In masks outrageous and austere, The years go by in single file; But none has merited my fear, And none has quite escaped my smile.
Elinor Wylie






HummingBead

No one chooses evil 
because it is evil; 
but only mistakes it 
for happiness, 
the good he seeks. 

Mary Shelley







803 & 809













Morning is nature's way of saying: 
Live life one more time, 
make a difference, 
touch one heart, 
encourage one mind 
and inspire one soul.
            
    Ash Sweeney

Mary Shelley was truly brilliant and her quote is so very true, I’m sure.

That first picture is spectacular. Pixie is inspiring me to sleep in tomorrow.

"I thank You God for most this amazing day"
Yesterday was one of those days. Today will be one also.
