A Curious Enjoyment

A L O H A From
Honolulu

Grey skies are just 
clouds passing over.
      Duke Ellington



Now is the time of
the illuminated woods, 
every leaf glows 
like a tiny lamp; 
one walks through 
their lighted halls 
with a curious enjoyment.
               John Burroughs





If you care for an orchid,
It's beauty will reward you.
Petals open.
Fragrance 
fills your room.
Even delicate things,
Can be beautiful 
and strong.
  Barb Schmidt



We lose ourselves in 
the things we love.  
We find ourselves 
there, too.
         Kristin Martz

Sometimes it is fun to change the punctation.

I'd never heard Hawaiian Santa before, tee hee, because I haven't been to Hawaii yet probably! Cute!
