Elementary

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 To the illuminated mind the whole world sparkles with light. Ralph Waldo Emerson




Shadow Drinking Coffee
To be bowed by grief is folly;
Naught is gained by melancholy;
Better than the pain of thinking,
Is to steep the sense in drinking.
Alcaeus

I recommend Coffee!





 It's surprising how much memory
is built around things
unnoticed at the time.
Barbara Kingsolver






What I want is so simple
I almost can't say it:
elementary kindness.
Barbara Kingsolver

You started this post with that gorgeous sunset. And it looks warm. It's snowing here right now, although we're not supposed to get any accumulation. Do you remember this
chilly weather? Enjoy your tropical warmth. Happy T day hugs-Erika

Your photos are incredible today. I LOVE the shadow coffee drinking. It is brilliant. Thanks for sharing it and wide eyed Pixie with us for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia.

That memory quote is so very true. Who knew that when Mom was a kid the smell of a school bus on a cold morning would be in her memory forever. Now when she smells the exhaust from a school bus on a cold morning she remembers being around seven and waiting for the bus. The mind is a true puzzle!
