A L O H A From Honolulu!
Approaching the beach on foot
is like entering the precincts
of a grand cathedral,
a pilgrimage site.
There are always strangers
about but they too are pilgrims.
Here we experience our
commonality before the waves,
the space, the sky.

Our pilgrim hearts
In borrowed sun,
Toward the ocean's
altar run.

Tunnel of timeless secrets to share.
Stripes of sun and shade agree
Whispers of eternity.
A private life
with your favorite people
is a happy life.
Who you are becoming
is more important than
who you've been.

A good question as who I am becoming is something that puzzles me.
May it be good 😊
Love your tunnel of timeless secrets. It's a very cool shot. Pixie looks surprised at what or who someone she sees is becoming. Who is she looking at?
I love the quote on becoming, and hope I continually improve.
I resent people driving on the beach too. As I would people driving into a cathedral.
Great as always. Thanks for this start of the week.
As a generally mild and tolerant person, I could reserve a very special (and hopefully excruciating) punishment for those who drive on beaches, or any other of nature’s few remaining pristine spaces.
...is that old fellow up to the task?
Great quotes and photos. It feels good to have your toes in the warm sand.
My favorite quote, A private life with your favorite people is a happy life.
Take care, have a great week!
I love your nature photos, but that bell is amazing.
"Who you are becoming
is more important than
who you've been."
👍
I do approach a beach with that sense of awe and respectfulness, there lies a quiet ocean which can offer destruction so easily!
I'd love to be approaching a nice warm beach this morning, Cloudia. ;-)
Especially loved the poem about the beach, Cloudia.
Blessings!
Great quotes and pics
Pixie looks thoroughly relaxed.
Beautiful, beautiful and beautiful Pixie.

Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches to Pixie. ♥

The only time who you've been is important is if you get caught.
That photo of Pixie is amazing. It makes me want out to stroke his luxurious fur.
Loved all the photos and captions!
Namaste 🙏
Always wonderful photos and quotes. Thank you Cloudia and Pixie!
I especially love the Guardian of Liberty. A great shot and a lovely quote by Mill. And of course, I got a laugh out of "You will drink here." Thanks for sharing this fun sign and all the lovely photos and quotes for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia.
Thanks for sharing the wonderful photos and your captions! Hugs, Valerie
Wishing you a very Happy T Tuesday! Hugs, Jo x
Inspiring quotes. Thanks! Happy T Tuesday
I so wish I was in Hawaii now. It is so cold here. Thanks for the warming photos. Have a nice day.
I must admit I am looking forward to visiting a beach(or two) this year!Happy T Day, Chrisx
Love the beach quote and of course, Pixie. Happy T Day
Like Chris, I am ready to visit the beach. Here we had a lot of storm damage in the past week, so my winter walks will be on hold. I hope you and Pixie both had a lovely T day. hugs-Erika
I took the adorable Pixie for my photo collage....Michelle
