A L O H A From Honolulu!
We are all visitors to this time,
this place. We are just
passing through. Our purpose
here is to observe, to learn, to grow,
to love… and then we return home.
Australian Aboriginal Proverb
There are enough critics
and fault finders.
Support one another!
Life and the world are so kind.
They generally conspire to
give us what we expect. So
why not expect the best?!
Never fall before you are pushed.
California Oak Tree |
California oak so strong and brown,
Whispers tales of ages flown.
Of shamans' chants and hunters' calls,
Before highways and shopping malls.
Before the ships before the plow,
She knew the deer, the
hawk on her bough
Under her shade, the elders sat
Weaving stories passing chat.
Children danced their laughter light,
As acorns tumbled brown and bright.
It is a beautiful
and blessed world
we live in,
and while life lasts,
to lose the
enjoyment of it
is a sin.

That last photo is beautiful. Hard to tell what it is but it seems like fire in the sky. Or some tropical plant growing in water. Good one, Cloudia. Hello, Pixie. You are so handsome.
