Heal in the Shadows Celebrate in the Sun

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We are what our thoughts
have made us;
so take care about
what you think. Words are secondary.
Thoughts live;
they travel far. Swami Vivekananda



Heal in the shadows.
Celebrate in the sun.




Rest is not idleness, and
to lie sometimes on the grass
under trees on a summer’s day,
listening to the murmur
of the water, or watching
the clouds float across the sky,
is by no means a waste of time.
     J. Lubbock




The true poem rests
between the words.
  Vanna Bonta



Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up
every preconceived notion... or you shall learn nothing. Thomas H. Huxley

As long as the sun
does not set in your mind,
darkness will be nothing
but a weak shadow
in your life! Mehmet Murat ildan

Sometimes you can better heal in the sun and celebrate in the shadows.Its just both sides of the medal and how it falls.

Pixie sees little birds and approves.

Wow! That fly really sat still for you!

I think I need to rest my brain for a while too.

The ducks reminded me of the baby duck we found in our backyard. Its family was long gone. I took it to a local park and put it in the pond where another duck family was living. They adopted the orphan right away.

Pixie has given up her preconceived notions about flies and is now learning by observing. I am just celebrating in the sun today!
