Beautiful Quiet Gentle Enough

A L O H A From Honolulu!


In the realm of nature,
nothing is perfect and
everything is perfect... 


Trees can be contorted,
bent and gnarled, and
still be beautiful...



Flowers can be misshapen,
and still be fragrant... 


- And the moon
can be half-full
and still be whole.
    Alice Walker




The garden is a sanctuary,
Where souls find release,
My heart is filled,
With profound gentle peace.


Rainbow Cassia Tree






 Pied feral pigeon

 I have never been 
especially impressed
 by the heroics of people
 who are convinced they are 
about to change the world. 

I am more awed by those 
who struggle to make
 one small difference 
after another. 
  Ellen Goodman




What if I accept that all
I really want is a small,
slow, simple life. 
A beautiful quiet, gentle life.
I think it is enough.
Krista O'Reilly-Davi-Digui

Love You,

When you see a crescent moon

with silvered clouds, know

that you are not alone.

The universe is watching

over you, and everything

will be okay.

    That garden looks like a beautiful place. Are feral pigeons ferocious? I love Pixie's favorite quote today. It fits her to a "P."

    Have a beautiful, peaceful, quiet weekend filled with jaunts through the secret gardens of Honolulu...

    The last quote if very comforting...if we could only remember it always. I love old trees and find beauty in so many 'odd' things! Hugs to you and Pixie!
