Translucent Ephemera

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I like ephemera

And music overheard

Things of the moment

Happening in the wind.

Vignettes becoming

And passing away.

Bustle of the city streets

Bird song bright and gay

Waves at beach-side

Each one unique then gone

Appearing all the same

Variations on a song.

Opuntia tuna is a species of cactus

The things of the world knew

so much more than we did

and lived them more truly.

The thorn trees had no grief or fear.

The constellations didn't fight or

hold themselves back, nor did

the translucent hook of the moon.

Everything was momentary and endless.

Paula McLain

The most important thing

about translucent people is

that their life has been deeply

transformed by an awakening.

   Arjuna Ardagh

I think the main way that

somebody would know they're

translucent is that their life

has become more about the

embodiment of Spirit than about

acquisition, and that may be

something that creeps up on you.

Arjuna Ardagh

...neither bashful nor forward,

with a soul that seemed submerged,

but in a radiant moistness.

Opalescent on the surface but

translucent in her depths ...

Vladimir Nabokov

Santa Claus is anyone

who loves another and

seeks to make them happy;

who gives himself...

 ...in every gift

that he bestows.
