Eggplant To The Moon

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Just stop for a minute 
and you'll realize you're
happy just being.

 I think it's the pursuit
that screws up happiness.

 If we drop the pursuit,
it's right here. 
James Hillman




So, you're telling me that
every time you thought you couldn't
get through something difficult,
you did. And now,
you're back here
thinking you won't succeed?
Trust your track record, my friend.
       Vex King






In a garden green
Where the veggies all bloom,  
One had grown to the 
Size of a small town saloon.

An eggplant named Edgar
Who longed to go fast  
Declared, “I’m a rocket!
I'm leaving at last!”
His friends in the patch
All cheered

And they clapped, 
The day that Edgar 
Prepared to be zapped!

“Four, three, two, one
Blast off!” he exclaimed,  
And up through the sky
That aubergine flamed.  

With a whoosh and a roar
He soared through the night,  
The first veggie-shaped rocket,
what a ridiculous sight!
  
So next time you see
An eggplant in bloom,  
Remember, they may dream
Of the stars and the moon!






Our entire life … 
consists ultimately in 
accepting ourselves 
as we are.
              Jean Anouih
