Your Interesting Candy Shell

A  L  O  H  A !

"She did not talk to

 people

 as if they were

 strange 

hard shells she had to 

crack open to get inside. 

She talked as if 

she were already

 in the shell. " 

Marita Bonner

"One thing life has taught me:

 if you are interested, 

you never have to look

 for new interests. 

They come to you. 

When you are genuinely

 interested

 in one thing, 

it will always lead 

to something 

else."

Eleanor Roosevelt

"The great thing 

is to be saturated

with something-

-that is,

in one way 

or another, with life;

and I chose the form

of my saturation."

Henry James

Sacred Antics of the Clouds (Hawaii)

A   L   O   H   A !

King Ape (center)

was reading his paper

 but baby seal has climbed

up into his arms.

 See, the bright pages

 are dropped.

Winged Pig (left)

is a little jealous

(his halo is evaporating)

Fractured Rat (right)

waits patiently, just

happy to be allowed.

What tender compassion,

 in the face of the

Kingly Ape.

Baby Seal shyly

looks up into the eyes

of tonight's 

Cloud Monarch.

See Piggys snout
yearning in
for some attention?

Day Rabbit

has run,

following Sun -

A Silly Sea Serpent

(Right, facing left)

breathes limp fire

after a choir

of blue 

Flying Fish -

Keep Dancing,

Pinky.

Tomorrow

YOU might just

be Queen

of the afternoon!

Thanks, Dear Friend

You are the cloud nobility

sense. "

Tom Clancy

Monstera & Aruba Blue by Essie

 to be true. 

Tales and adventures

 are the shadow truths

 that will endure 

when mere facts 

are dust and ashes

 and forgotten. "

Cast a Long Shadow (Java Finch)

" Poetry is an echo,

 asking a shadow

 to dance.

Much of what I share

with You here

is written during my 

morning walks

  in Waikiki.

Standing,

writing in my palm

in the park.

It's as if you 

are walking with me.

Every day!

Then I visit your site,

and walk along

with you for a while.

I love our 

conversation

NICE!

Thanks for walking along,

" Now that I've 

relinquished 

my fantasies 

of all the people

 I wish I could be, 

and stopped feeling

 guilty about [that], 

I have more time 

for the things 

that I truly enjoy."
