A Little Life

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Marin Calif

Each day is a little life: every waking and rising

a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth . . . Schopenhauer

Is the spring coming?" he said.

"What is it like?"...

It is the sun shining on the rain

and the rain falling on the sunshine.

   Frances Hodgson Burnett*

A misty morning does not signify a cloudy day. Ancient Proverb

Grandmother used to say: "If everyone in the neighborhood put all their problems

on the front porch we'd all be glad to go home with our own."

Love You Friend,

Pixie & Cloudia

* Just for the record, Hawaii is North of the Equator in a subtropical zone. We are glorying in Autumn now.

The Rain Raining:

Rekindle

 A   L   O   H   A  !

The firmest of friendships 

have been formed in 

mutual adversity, as iron 

is most strongly united 

by the fiercest flame. 

Charles Caleb Colton

Nirvana is not the 

blowing out of the candle. 

It is the extinguishing of the

flame because day is come. 

Rabindranath Tagore

Interest in a single bluebird 

is worth more than a 

complete but dry list of 

the fauna and flora of a town.

Henry David Thoreau

Dr. Insomniac Coffee Shop, Novato, CA

Things taste better outdoors. 

And if it's a forbidden thing, 

so much the better.     

Franny Billingsley

 We should all be thankful 

for those who

rekindle the inner spirit.

Albert Schweitzer

Every act is either 

an act of love or 

a cry for love.

     Jay Shetty

When you are not sure, 

flip a coin because while 

the coin is in the air, you

realize which one 

you are actually hoping for.

        Jay Shetty

Circumstances are the 

rulers of the weak; 

they are but the 

instruments of the wise.

             Samuel Lover

I love asking kids 

what they want to be 

when they grow up because 

I’m still looking for ideas.

            Jay Shetty

"Rancho  Novato"

This Mural in Novato California shows the area well.

When nothing is sure, 

everything is possible.

         Margaret Drabble

All of these photos were taken in 

Marin County California when we

lived there recently for 4 years. 

Pixie had the chance to meet &

greet the wildlife, to walk along the fence, 

and to hear the coyotes call. 

I'm pretty sure she also was on friendly terms 

with the racoon family on the property. 

The ducks were her especial friends.

 I saw them beak to whisker many times. 

Pixie was trying to figure them

out. The ducks hoped she 

had some food for them no doubt.

Spring Thoughts in Distancing

A    L    O    H    A  !

Smile Down and Wonder

Impassive moon

at the stillness and return

of Nature.

Lessons being learned?

I hope so.

In order for the world

to work and be in order

the world needs wrong

and right to turn on.

Put your shoulder to the wheel,

pull the rope - ring the bell.

Which direction is it moving?

Still too soon to tell.

Remain at home.

Refrain from Hate & Fear.

Every day now, we each shed a tear.

But hear? It is tomorrow,

never tarries, and the packages

that she carries are filling up now.

 By inhabiting richly this moment

 clear a space for better things.

So dry your wings. And dare to think

of soaring on better days.

We have work to do,

but it is righteous work

rebuilding and re-reaching.

Don't focus on problem people

but solutions of love  pour down.

Every circus needs some clowns.

Know such cannot sustain,

they only bring pain.

But together

we Will rise again!

Be Civilized

A    L    O    H    A  !

Dwelling on the negative simply 

contributes to its power. 

            Shirley MacLaine

Give advice;

If people don't listen

let adversity teach them.

         Ethiopian Proverb

Mural in a Sonoma, California Bar

See the golden bear?

Great Place! 

Better one good thing that is 
than two good things that were. 
           Irish Proverbs

Civilization is just a slow process 
of learning to be kind.

Last December I lived in N. Calif.

We are always the 

same age inside.
