Renaissance Of Wonder

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Life may not be the 
party we hoped for, 
but while we're here 
we should dance.
 Folk Wisdom




The good and the wise 
lead quiet lives.
      Euripides




We need a renaissance of wonder. 
We need to renew, in our 
hearts and in our souls, 
the deathless dream, 
the eternal poetry, the 
perennial sense that 
life is miracle and magic. 
E. Merrill Root 




Hope is being able to see that 
there is light despite all of 
the darkness.
    Desmond Tutu

I love the renaissance of wonder shot of droplets on the leaf and Pixie wondering how the steps go to a renaissance dance. The rainbow ties it all up with a colorful bow.

Pretty rainbow!

I just read a quote something along the lines of when you think you're down in the dirt, you're just being planted. Love it. Happy Halloween!

Mike said...

Lots of darkness crawling out of the ground right now. Hopefully there will be light next week.

Love the quote by Desmond Tutu. I also believe in hope. A brilliant quote and image associated with Euripides. It is a great one for T this week, dear Cloudia. Thanks for sharing these with us for T Tuesday.

More beautiful skies and oh that leaf is amazing. Have a great T day!

Lisca said...

Lovely music. I always like your music choices. It's great if I remember them, but very interesting when I've never heard anything like it like today. What is the traditional instrument of Hawaii? (before the settlers I mean)
Great quotes again. I like the Desmond Tutu one and the great and wise live quiet lives.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca

The light in Pixie's eyes is just beautiful. Happy T Day

Cloudia said...

Before contact there were drums made of gourds that are still in use today for hula, and Hawaiian nose flute. A very interesting instrument. I understand that in the old days you would hear sweet flute music in the evenings. Aloha and thank you for your visit
