Habits Of Thought

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Elevator Lobby - Going For My Morning Walk
 Worry is profoundly ungrateful. What a waste of all the treasures
around and within us,
of the time we have! Do not let the times we live in
dictate to us. Let's go
our own bright way and spread it around
as we are able.


Anyone who isn't embarrassed
of who they were last year
probably isn't learning enough. Alain de Botton



Crown of velvet, petals curled, Unfurl the secrets of our world,
The daily round, a passing show, Dissolves within your vibrant glow.

 I thank you, bloom,
for lessons taught, Of beauty born from
battles fought. For showing the love
in simple things, You lift my heart
on unseen wings. May I be like you,
steadfast soul, Unfurl my petals,
make me whole. To find within each
morning's embrace, Ecstatic vision,
face to face.



Our habitual thoughts
shape our perceptions. Swedenborg

So practice good
thought hygiene
as Pixie does!

Aloha, dear Cloudia!
Hihi, Pixie is a wonderful thought hygienist :-DD
The tree in the last photo is a true invitation to meditate under it. I particularly like the first statement today: “Worry is profoundly ungrateful.” You offered a great collection again!
All the best and have a nice Advent season,

The tall buildings on the skyline present a nice contrast to the usual quiet nature photos and pet photos.

"who isn't embarrassed"
My embarrassment goes back 60 years.

Pixie looks contemplative.
