A L O H A From Honolulu!
As she read on, her surroundings
gradually faded, and soon there lay
about her only the mists of dream;
the purple, star-strewn mists
beyond Time, where only
gods and dreamers walk.

You must live in the present,
launch yourself on every wave,
find your eternity in each moment.
Henry David Thoreau
The biggest creative cheat code is to get out of your own way and let the universe work through you... Rather than trying too hard to micromanage the process and control the outcome, in both creativity and life, I have learned that it’s better to open myself to unexpected solutions and make
myself a vessel for the muse.
James McCrae
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease
observing a spear
of summer grass.

PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
I looked up the current info on the monk seals, which are a threatened species and I learned "beginning in 2013 the total population of Hawaiian monk seals throughout their range began to increase." So their prospects may be improving slightly. I hope so!

ReplyDeleteThe first sky photo rather matches the 'mists of dreams'.
ReplyDeleteReading can transport you.
ReplyDeleteIndeed great photo of the seal. I read a quote from Stefan Zweig this morning that I don't want to keep from you. Remember that shadow is the child of light.
ReplyDeleteWalt Whitman and Pixie have the right idea, Cloudia. ;-)
