Hints Ineffable

A   L   O   H   A  !

 " - our present life 

is a glimpse,
 a fragment,

 a hint,
 and in its best moments
 a visible beginning. "

Josiah Royce

 From that first lighted

 window,

that early morning hint,

Something beckoned

playful & significant

leading me on

hide & seek

through my day.

Where is this 

path of clouds

leading?

 Everything I saw

walking through Waikiki

-so full of color,

movement, light-

seemed but the

reflection

of some greater

Color, Movement

L I G H T.

Passing by

I was drawn

to the Open Door

as a photo op.

I set up the shot

several times

but the 

Light

remained.

Couldn't 'clear'

my capture.

I sensed

that it hovers there

in fond blessing

of those who

enter.

It beckoned to me

with friendly love.

Kissed

by Angels.

Right?

" How strange and wonderful 

is our home, our earth, 

with its swirling vaporous atmosphere,

 its flowing and frozen liquids,

 its trembling plants,

 its creeping, crawling, climbing creatures,

 the croaking things 

 with wings

 that hang on rocks

 and soar through the fog, 

the furry grass, 

the scaly seas."

Local Boys

"Hawaii Local Boy"

Living in Hawaii

means riding my scooter

all year long.

Here is one of the 'perks.'

Spotted these two yesterday.

As a long-time 2-wheeler

I cringe at the bare feet.

As an animal lover. . . 

The dog does seem

 competent

and content.

I bet they surf together.

Worth another look,

am I right, ladies?

 Hawaii BORN & Raised

 guys
like our President

are something 

special!

 [ Dear blog-invisible husband: YOU are of course
a special category of ONE ] 

NO Place

like Hawaii,

my home

" Nature was

 here
 a series of

 wonders,
 and a fund of 

delight. "
