As Humans

A L O H A From Honolulu!

True greatness is on
the other side of
temporary defeat

A superb tenor voice,
like a silver trumpet
muffled in silk.

Ravenala "Traveler's Palm"
Our human compassion binds us
the one to the other -
not in pity or patronizingly,
but as human beings
who have learnt how to
turn our common suffering
into hope for the future.
Nelson Mandela




Me and My Shadow

This worldly life
is like a shadow.
If you try to catch it,
you will never be
able to do so.
If you turn your
back towards it,
it has no choice
but to follow you.
 Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya

    We have a silk tree - and I look forward to the flowers every year. So do the birds.

    Our streets are being filled with French and Italian speakers at the moment. It gives me such a happy buzz when I hear it....that inch closer to 'normal' #WeekendReflection
