A L O H A From Honolulu!
Right now people are ready
to be offended, but I
am ready to be delighted.

If instead of a figure you put
the shadow only of a person,
you have found an original
starting point, that strangeness
of which you have calculated.
Paul Gauguin
Life's essential harmony is
within each of us. So
also is life's brokenness.
To be part of transformation
is to look falseness in the face,
to passionately name it
and denounce it
in our world, and at the
same time to clearly identify
its shadow within
our own hearts and to do
battle with it there.
J. Philip Newell
The shadows of our own
desires stand between us
and our better angels,
and thus their
brightness is eclipsed.
Charles Dickens
Trying to impose our personal
agenda on someone else's
experience is the shadow side
of love, while real love
recognizes that life
unfolds at its own pace.

The Gauguin quote has me scratching my head.
Pixie's life is unfolding at her pace. She doesn't want any shadows imposed on her, and she won't impose on you. Great guitar video. Thanks for spreading love and light.
Beautiful clouds.
Beautiful frames of various scenes in unique angles. The words are wonderful too
Lovely set of photos. I enjoyed the guitar piece.
Love it
Lovely shadow from the wee fly.
Beautiful photos!
My favorite is the shadow of the fly.
Have a blessed day!
I love the Dickens quote and the visual, too. Oh to be in Waikiki. Loved that Pixie know we can't impose our own agenda on anyone else. Just lovely photos and quotes today, Cloudia.
Sometimes I read your comments on my phone. Your name is so small that I read the comment before I know who wrote it. Most of the time I recognize your voice! Each of you brings a gift here for which I am grateful. Pixie says: "me too!"
Wonderful photography! Love the fly shadow, very nice.
Life definitely unfolds at its own pace.
I enjoyed seeing your post and hearing that beautiful guitar music. I also like the expression on Pixie's face.
Lady Liberty seems to be all over.
Love that slack key!
Pixie is simply adorable.
Worth a Thousand Words
