A Wish Lantern Set Out

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

To see the Summer Sky
Is Poetry, though never 
in a Book it lie—
True Poems flee—
Emily Dickinson





 Canna indica – 
The Indian Shot, Seed Sack
Hope is a helium balloon. 
It is a wish lantern set out 
into the dark sky of night.
 Sharon Weil




The wall is silence, 
the grass is sleep,
Tall trees of peace 
their vigil keep,
And the Fairy of Dreams 
with moth-wings furled
Plays soft on her flute 
to the drowsy world.
                       Ida Rentoul Outhwaite








Find the sweetness 
in your own heart,
then you may find the 
sweetness in every heart. 
     Rumi

    Love that seed sack. Rumi always speaks to and for me.

    Outhwaite captures the hush of twilight with such grace, weaving a lullaby for the world through nature’s quiet guardians and the gentle music of dreams. It’s a serene and magical image, where even silence becomes a kind of song.

    Rumi has me worried.
    "Find the sweetness in your own heart..."
    Oh dear! That's going to take a long time to find!

    I am not sure if I have sweetness in my heart today after reading pro-Con stuff on blogs.

    What glorious pictures today! I love the Enchanted Forest theme. I am still trying to decide if Pixie is a lion, tiger or jaguar. I am leaning towards Jaguar Queen of Cute in the Enchanted Forest :)
