My Day, Your Day

A L O H A !

In this place -







- There is grace








































Today is a flame








 Relieved by grace.



So meet me again tonight-





 In our special place.





We are called
to be bridge builders;


but too many of us


are merely


toll takers.


You are welcome for free,

here on the Spiral Jetty.
       Warmly, cloudia

“I will go back to the great sweet mother,

Mother and lover of men,

the sea.”

" May your trails be crooked, 
winding, lonesome, dangerous,
leading to the most amazing view.
  May your mountains rise
into and above the clouds. "
 
Edward Abbey

Even if you are on the side of the
 
angels
 
behaving self righteously
 
out of anger
 
always accomplishes
 
the work of the devil.

Clouds

ALOHA !



Click on these photos !

"At the beach, life is different.
Time doesn't move hour to hour
but mood to moment. 
We live by the currents, 
plan by the tides, 
and follow the sun."

- Anonymous






" Rest is not idleness, 
and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees 
on a summer's day,
 listening to the murmur of water,
or watching the clouds float across the sky,
 is by no means a waste of time.  "

John Lubbock


" The sky and the strong wind
have moved the spirit inside me
till I am carried away 
trembling with joy.  "

Uvavnuk


"  Only from the heart 
can you touch the sky. "

  Rumi
 






" Clouds come floating into my life,
no longer to carry rain or usher storm,
but to add color to my sunset sky. "

  Rabindranath Tagore




























"The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine,
bracing and delicious.
  And why shouldn't it be?
- it is the same the angels breathe. "

Mark Twain, 
"Roughing It"
