Silence To Think

A L O H A From Honolulu!

May you delight in today.
May the child in you stir awake for a season
of Wonder and Hope.



You needn't own something to derive pleasure from it. Do you own a sunset, a moment, or a song?




Better than a thousand hollow words,
 is one word that brings peace.
Buddha 





Every piece of the universe,
even the tiniest little snow crystal,
matters somehow.
I have a place in the pattern,
and so do you…
T.A. Barron

So much space, such silence,
so much time. To drift.
To think. To let your mind
roam anywhere it pleases.
To dream. Perhaps the
true luxury of our age is not
the piles of goods we endlessly
accumulate, but Time.
Ferenc Mate'

Thanks for such a wonderful and hopeful post. I love the little gecko peeking out, and the dude enjoying his time to sit and sip a big gulp. Pixie is enjoying her time of silence, too.

Love that little critter crawling around. We've been seeing the volcano on the news, those things can be pretty scary. Howdy Pixie!

I love the quote about deriving pleasure without owning something. Pixie has some wise words, too. But of course, I really enjoyed the man behind the cones abd barriers with his drink. Thanks for your great photos and quotes you shared with us for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia.

I love this post Cloudia. Especially this quote. You needn't own something to derive pleasure from it. Do you own a sunset,
a moment, or a song? It's so true. Have a lovely day today.

We've been seeing images from the volcano on the news. Very alarming though Pixie doesn't seem to be too concerned. Happy T Day
