The Game Sweeping the World

Normal Aging OR Pandemic?!
A L O H A From Honolulu!
Every contraction
is naturally followed
by an expansion;
every time you feel
your heart shrivel
be confident that
it will blossom in turn.
   Rumi



Yesterday, after slowly re-entering
the world of people,
I went to the Park on a
busy Sunday Afternoon!
Local residents flock there.
It is near, but not really IN Waikiki.
I resisted the whole way.
It seemed far from
the comfort of home.

Why?

Because of Pandemic Brain
OR
Normal Aging?





Family Gatherings with food are
 a big part of Hawaii culture.
Being locked down was hard.
The cultural mix of sights, smells,
and people, in the
park is intoxicating!
A brief video below will
take you to the scene!





I'll affect you slowly
as if you were having
a picnic in a dream.
There will be no ants.
It won't rain. 
  Richard Brautigan












Freedom is the right
to one's dignity.
Archibald MacLeish



The presence of
a single bird can
change everything
for one who
appreciates them.
   Julie Zickefoose



I pray to the birds
because they remind me
of what I love rather
than what I fear.
And at the end
of my prayers,
they teach me
how to listen.
Terry Tempest Williams





The sound of birds
stops the noise
in my mind.
  Carly Simon










Every moment is

a golden one for

those who have the

vision to recognize

it as such.

   Henry Miller
