Turn Tides Scatter

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A single poem, alone

can turn tides scatter galaxies

and burst forth with rivers

from paradise.

 Sanober Khan

Ravenala madagascariensis,

traveller's palm or East-West palm,

from Madagascar. It is not a

true palm but a member of the family

     Strelitziaceae (Bird of Paradise)

 If you want to know the truth

of who you are, walk

until not a person knows your name.

Travel is the great leveler,

the great teacher, bitter as medicine,

crueler than mirror-glass.

A long stretch of road will teach you

more about yourself than a

hundred years of quiet introspection.

 Patrick Rothfuss

I wander

from mind to mind.

     Avijeet Das

But dreams come

through stone walls,

light up dark rooms,

or darken light ones,

and their persons make their

exits and their entrances

as they please, and

laugh at locksmiths.

  Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

When it is in flower

it is like it is in flame.

Wangari Maathai

Like a yawn of fire

from the grass it came,

And the fanning wind puffed

it to flapping flame...

Francis Thompson

Joy comes in sips,

not gulps.
