Most of my adventures

take place

in my own head

these days.

Routine can be 

comforting

when life has been

anything but -

Ye,t it's good

to shake things up

once in a while.

I drove to shop

in Hawaii Kai,

and the highway 

going back to Honolulu

looked like a 

parking lot.

On islands,

the main roads

are often coastal;

Not too many 

options.

But I decided

to make it an adventure

and continue around

the isle,

and come back

to town over 

the Pali Highway

through the 

Ko`olau mountains

H = Home, S= Shopping

P= Pali Highway

I chose an adventure

over a traffic jam.

Right choice!

I fell in love

with Oahu all over

again.

What a gorgeous day!

(Just sayin`)

& Sharing it with

YOU

is the best part.

Please keep safe

in Your adventures-

" Sometimes, 

if you stand on the bottom 

rail of a bridge 

and lean over

 to watch the river

 slipping slowly away

 beneath you, 

you will suddenly know 

everything there is

 to be known. "

“Whatever

 I am offered

 in devotion with

 a pure heart - a leaf, 

a flower, fruit, 

or water -

 I accept with joy.”

" I have never for one instant 

seen clearly within myself. 

How then 

would you have me

 judge the deed 

of others? "
