Grass Grows By Itself

 
 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu
Twins At this hour the sky leans down— looking to remember. Water holds it, as it always does kissing
this other self. Between them,
a private vow— two yet
never separate. Dusk (or dawn?) they let themselves blur, one into the other
forever and an age.

Here as witness we too are doubled— watching and being watched.
Admiring ourselves.
Cloudia Charters


A wise one changes their mind, a fool never will. Spanish Proverb


Hula is the heartbeat
of the Hawaiian People.


Only a person who 
has passed through
the gate of humility 
can ascend to the 
heights of the spirit. 





Sitting silently,
doing nothing,
the spring comes and
the grass grows by itself. Osho

Reminds me of what my Dad said once during some world strife: "The babies keep coming and the grass keeps growing." Linda in Kansas
