Sunshine is delicious,
rain is refreshing,
wind braces us up,
snow is exhilarating;
there is really no such thing
as bad weather, only
different kinds
of good weather.

The first duty of love
is to listen.

You are not a
drop in the ocean.
You are the
entire ocean
in a drop.
Rumi
Those who love deeply
never grow old;
they may die of old age,
but they die young.

Beneath these bruised
and brooding skies,
Cloud armadas shift and collide,
Let your heart take flight and soar,
On wings of dreams forevermore.
Listening is the key to so many things.
ReplyDeleteSo true
ReplyDeleteI'm just wondering: how long did it take the earlier Hawaiians to climb up that mountain to get to the top of the waterfall? Amazing. Have a peaceful Christmas on da beach! Linda in Kansas

"On wings of dreams . . ."
ReplyDeleteLoved the photos and the sentiments here today, Cloudia! Blessings!
I love the quote about listening with love and the first shot of the haiku plantation, and Pixie, ready to take a leap of faith...
ReplyDeleteIt is grey and rainy here so it would be hard to call it good weather. I am craving some sunshine, Cloudia. Never growing old is a good one. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMerry Xmas to you. It is so good to realise we are the ocean in a drop!
ReplyDeleteAnd who is that hiding behind Pixie's butt?
ReplyDeleteListening is a good skill, we might learn something new.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Cloudia.
