Gaze Plays

 A L O H A From Honolulu!
Are we human because
we gaze at the stars, or
do we gaze at them
because we are human?
Neil Gaiman


Gaze steadfastly at things
which, though far away,
are yet present to the mind.
Parmenides

It is electric
when eyes meet
no matter how far!


Let go of the past,
wash away your pain, anger,
and hatred, and emerge refreshed,
renewed, and pure like the waterfall.
Shree Shambav


 

Archive Shot, N. Calif:


How wonderful it must be
to speak the language of angels,
with no words for hate and
a million words for love.
  Eileen Elias Freeman

Good question Neil - but I am just thankful that there are stars to admire.

Me too Honey!

Pixie is taking your advice to gaze steadfastly. She's gazing at the jay bird, but the electricity hasn't hit yet. I wonder how cold the water in that waterfall is. It could be an icy plunge to cleanse the soul.

The stars have always called me to gaze with wonder at the vastness of God's creation, Cloudia. May we all keep looking up!

Neil's quote from Stardust is appreciated.

December in Honolulu looks like December everywhere, with streets closed for parades and holiday festivities!

I can see it coming. Somebody is going to get their car towed.
