Stubborn Delight

 A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

Learning how to be still. 

To really be still and 

let life happen. 

That stillness 

becomes radiance.

    Morgan Freeman

Concrete and glass

Fixed design,

But sunlight ever

Has its own in mind.

Shadows dance

With unexpected grace,

Transforming 

Moment to Moment 

Re-imagining space.

The architects plan

So carefully drawn,

Graffiti-ed anew

With each 

Passing dawn.

Carpobrotus aequilaterus, 

common names: angled pigface, 

Chilean pigface,

 This species is thought to 

have originated in 

southern Africa 

(or possibly South America). 

A naturalised weed elsewhere.

From my  N. California files

We must risk delight. 

We can do 

without pleasure, 

but not delight. 

Not enjoyment. 

We must have the 

stubbornness to accept 

our gladness in the 

ruthless furnace 

of the world.

There is more credit and 

satisfaction in being a 

first-rate truck driver 

than a tenth-rate executive.
