The Seal, The Ant, and Ducks

A L O H A From Honolulu!

On Saturday morning

I walk to the beach.

It's just a short distance from

where I walk by every morning;

But on Saturday I cross Kalia

and walk down Paoa Place

between the Hale Koa,

and the Hilton.

Today I saw a black feral cat 

catch a grey dove

pulling it down!

But perhaps being unschooled

in the hunt, or surprised,

kitty lost her grip in the flutter

as dove flew up and away.

What else will we see?

A blessed haze lies upon all

this region, wherein is held

a little more of the sunlight

than other places hold,

and a little more of the

summer's humming music

of birds and bees; so that

men walk through it

as through a faery place,

and feel greater joy and

wonder than they ever

afterward remember.

   H.P. Lovecraft

Resting Hawaiian Monk Seal! Full grown!

Ocean is more ancient

than the mountains, and

freighted with the memories

and the dreams of Time.

Laziness Personified.

We do not see them 

hunting, and traveling

hundreds of

miles at sea!

Meet my ant

on a crepe ginger blossom

When you meet with

your old friends, you

recollect some of the finest

moments of your life

and find yourself in a

joy that has no comparison. Syed Badiuzzaman

There's nothing half so pleasant

as coming home again. Margaret Elizabeth Sangster

we have forgotten.

A   L   O   H   A  !

- just remember, the storm doesn't last forever. 

It can scare you; it can shake you to your core. 

But it never lasts. The rain subsides, the thunder dies, 

and the winds calm to a soft whisper. And that moment 

after the storm clouds pass, when 

all is silent and still, you find peace. 

Quiet, gentle peace.

                   S.L. Jennings

Peace is the result of retraining your mind 

to process life as it is, rather than 

as you think it should be.     

           Wayne W. Dyer

Worry does not empty 

tomorrow of its sorrows, it

empties today of its strength.

Corrie ten Boom

So don't be frightened, dear friend, 

if a sadness confronts you larger than any 

you have ever known, casting its shadow 

over all you do. You must think that 

something is happening within you, 

and remember that life has not forgotten you; 

it holds you in its hand and will not let you fall. 

Why would you want to exclude from your life any uneasiness, any pain, any depression, 

since you don't know what work 

they are accomplishing within you?”

Rainer Maria Rilke,
