Freedom, Flowers and the Moon

A L O H A From Honolulu!
With freedom, books, flowers,
and the Moon, who
could not be happy? Oscar Wilde


Which is Bigger, the Moon or this Flower?
People need celebration in their life.
It's part of what it means
to be human.
We need magic and bliss and power,
myth, and celebration in our lives.
And music is a good way to
encapsulate a lot of it.
     Jerry Garcia


The white-rumped shama
was deliberately introduced to
the Hawaiian Archipelago in 1931 


 To bear trials with a calm mind
robs misfortune of its
strength and burden
Seneca


It is through gratitude
for the present moment
that the spiritual dimension
of life opens up
Eckhart Tolle

So grateful for this glorious celebration of freedom, flowers, the moon, and the Grateful Dead. Is this clip from another of your "I was there live" reminiscences? Pixie is certainly fascinated by the music.

Not my video. At least I think it's not.... A grateful Dead show can be very Shall we say mind expanding. Yes, Kitty does look like she is at the dead show. Thanks for looking in with your always welcome quips
