Friend 0f All Times

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I'm making friends
with all times of day
 Morning noon night.
That's all okay. 

Spicy bright morning
 anxiety in the afternoon.
Will soon change to sunset
 I'll eat it up with a spoon...


...When I was young
everything was clear 
except the mystery
of myself.

Cocktail of confidence
with a slug of self-doubt 
I hazarded attempts 
And figured most of it out...




...Senior years have their fears 
But graced with graces too 
I am friendly with every
time of the day.
So little left with
which to play.

Catherine-wheel pincushion,
wheel flower in English
and waterluisie in Afrikaans


The great person, 
in the midst of the crowd,
keeps with perfect sweetness
the independence of solitude.
            Ralph Waldo Emerson




When the truth 
comes around, all 
the lies have to 
run and hide.

Super, enjoyable post. Loved the capture of two women, one of whom didn't look at all eager to be photographed, but perhaps that was just a chance expression. We never know when that might happen. Lovely Pixie!

Making friends with all times of day is easier than making friends with all kinds of people. I just enjoy living in the moment.

I am SO very sorry about last Friday. I truly intended to visit sooner, but I was in so much pain, the only thing I did was use the toilet and sleep. It kept the pain at a minimum when I slept.

I love all the photos and Pixie with her great quote. I especially loved that Jesus had two fathers and turned out fine.
