Rainbow Banyan Beach Morning

 A L O H A  From

There's never any closure 
in an awe-inspired life,
 only constant acceptance 
of the mysteries...     
                         Paul Pearsall




The meaning of life 
is to find your gift. 
The purpose of life 
is to give it away.
Pablo Picasso. 




We need solitude,
because when we're alone,
we're free from obligations, we 
don't need to put on a show,
and we can HEAR 
our own thoughts.
                     Tamin Ansary





Amplify

Complaints are rocks  
Dropped in a pond—  
Ripples of angst  
Grow quickly beyond.

A threaten of thunder  
Calls more to the sky;  
Clouds gather quickly  
When grievances fly.

But laughter is sunlight  
Out-foxes the gray,  
Changing mud puddles  
To mirrors of day.

So hush your small storm,  
let silence begin—  
Then learn how the world  
grows gentle again.

  2. The orchid shot is amazing. Pixie looks like she's enjoying silence. That last picture is interesting, and I appreciate the quote from Thomas Paine.

  3. Absolutely—solitude gives us the space to be authentic, reflect, and truly listen to ourselves without distraction.
