A L O H A From Honolulu!

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!

True that habitual thoughts shape our thinking
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet photo of Pixie.
ReplyDeleteI love the first wise quote and the poem - and Pixie of course 😍
ReplyDelete...poor dog!
ReplyDeleteAloha, dear Cloudia!
ReplyDeleteHihi, 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,
Traude

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

I love that last shot with the tree and Pixie with her squeaky clean patterns of thought.

ReplyDeleteMy embarrassment goes back 60 years.
Pixie looks contemplative.
