"Nobody living can
ever stop me,
As I go walking
my freedom highway,
Nobody living can
make me turn back,
This land was made
for you and me."

Pixie cat is a rescue.
So she spent time
in a jail cell.
We lived with her
in a small
Waikiki apartment.
She's just lucky
she came around
AFTER we got off
our boat.
But now there is
a deck and a
fenced yard for
the cat who never
went outside
except on a lanai
[balcony].
She does not like
walking on grass,
but the rest of it
suits her to the
tip of her tail!
Thank You for
Coming This Far!

But Notice
A L O H A !
Same Petals as Yesterday's Abstract
“If you take a flower
in your hand and
really look at it,
it's your world
for a moment.”
Georgia O'Keeffe
" Life is full of beauty.
Notice it. Notice the
bumble bee, the small child,
and the smiling faces.
Smell the rain, and
feel the wind. Live
your life to the fullest
potential, and fight
for your dreams."
Ashley Smith
Morning Marin Wetlands
“My temple is the swamp…
When I would recreate myself,
I seek the darkest wood,
the thickest and most ...
impenetrable dismal, swamp.
I enter a swamp as a sacred place,
a sanctum sanctorum…
I seemed to have reached
a new world, so wild a place…
far away from human society.
What’s the need of visiting
far-off mountains and bogs, if
a half-hour’s walk will carry me
into such wildness and novelty.”
Thoreau

Thank YOU
for Visiting!

Spring Abstracts
A L O H A !
" I looked at my hands to see
if I was the same person.
There was such a
glory over everything.
The sun came up like
gold through the trees,
and I felt like I
was in heaven."
Harriet Tubman
“Nature will bear
the closest inspection.
She invites us to lay
our eye level with
her smallest leaf, and take
an insect view of its plain.”
Thoreau
“Never say there is
nothing beautiful in
the world anymore.
There is always something
to make you wonder
in the shape of a tree,
the trembling of a leaf.”
Albert Schweitzer
][
Besotted am I
by this Spring of Springs
my first in 30 years.
And sweet it is.
Your visits tremble,
vibrating like
flashing leaves
in the Dervish
dancing of
my mind.
Thank You!
