As I have seen in 
one autumnal face."

Hawaii Photo of the Day

A  L  O  H  A !

Equal Seekers of Sweetness

A  L  O  H  A !
The darkest nights 
produce the 
brightest stars.







Even Hummingbirds are still sometimes

 "My work is the world. 
Here the sunflowers, 
there the hummingbird - equal 
seekers of sweetness. ..."
               Mary Oliver













“All things change, nothing is 
extinguished. There is nothing 
in the whole world which is 
permanent. Everything flows onward; 
all things are brought into being 
with a changing nature; the 
ages themselves glide by 
in constant movement.”
                     Ovid

Obvious Extraordinaire

A  L  O  H  A !
A Cliche` is Something 
that has lasted
because it is
Fundamentally True.


Though it Seems
Obvious & Trivial 
Until the day
that the Truth of it 
Strikes You.

“When you play, [music]
never mind who
 listens to you.” 
                     Robert Schumann




               
[I like the mother's reaction 
and the kid in back
looking the other way,
like a cherub in an old
painting of an event]

intelligence to

Terra Incognita

A  L  O  H  A !
New Day As Yet Unknown
" McCandless yearned to 
wander uncharted country,
 to find a blank spot on the map. 
In 1992, however, there were 
no more blank spots on the map-
He simply got rid of the map. 
In his own mind, if nowhere else, 
the terra would thereby 
remain incognita.” 
                       Jon Krakauer









"I don't know where 
I'm going from here, 
but I promise it 
won't be boring." 
                       David Bowie














“It’s okay to get lost 
every once in a while, 
sometimes getting lost is
how we find ourselves.” 
                              Robert Tew

Each new day is 
unknown territory.

Blending old and 
undiscovered stories.

The longitude and 
latitude of Habit
overlay another world
'Terra Incognito'

At least that is
my credo.

Thank YOU
EXPLORER
for stopping
on YOUR
Voyage of Discovery!
