Oldest Therapy

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Closed \ Open Windows
If the doors of perception 
were cleansed, everything 
would appear as it is, 
Infinite. 

 William Blake





People need to rediscover 
the ability to find comfort 
amidst discomfort.

  Hanno Langenhoven






Often a star
was waiting for you to notice it. 
A wave rolled toward you
out of the distant path, 
or as you walked
under an open window, 
a violin yielded itself 
to your hearing. 
All this was mission.

 Rainer Maria Rilke







Cheilocostus speciosus, or crêpe ginger

The urge to transcend 
self-conscious self-hood is
a principal appetite 
of the soul.

 Aldous Huxley
    The Doors of Perception













And Of Course:

COFFEE! 
Yes









Opportunities to find 
deeper powers within ourselves
come when life seems 
most challenging.

Joseph Campbell

  1. Love the shots of clouds and sun! The mural of the Hawaiin canoes is glorious. Pixie's secret power is sleeping some more. She is beautiful like this blog.

  2. Love the flexible, beautiful Pixie.
    Sadly coffee is a closed door to me now - though I can (and do) still enjoy the aroma.

  10. The ginger lily blooms are incredible as are all the lovely quotes. I want to visit that coffee bar and get some Kona coffee and maybe one of those hats. Thanks for sharing them with us for T this week, dear Cloudia (and Pixie, too).

    That mural of the canoes is beautiful. I'm sure it was difficult to paint on that corrugated canvas!

  11. That Lagnehoven quote is exactly what you need in lockdown. I hear you guys are having to bring back some restrictions and I read about the fires. I'm truly sorry for both. It's a crazy world we're in at the moment. Here's hoping both are under control asap for you.
