Today marks

the end of Hurricane Season

here in the Central Pacific.

We had two serious alerts

one right after the other,

and high winds

affected the Big Island.

(Right before the lava threat)

HAWAII is safe to visit!

And we sure hope

You Will.

The weather is crisp, clear,

dry & breezy.

Just Delightful!

Today's High 77 F

Tonight's Low 70.

Riding my scooter

to the store yesterday

was a delight

of golden light

and NO sweat!

The snow YOU show

gives me a glow;

 but you know, my Dear:

I'm staying

H E R E !

Your visit

makes it 

Just Perfect!

Reveille and Reverie

A L O H A !

  

“Sit in reverie, 

and watch

 the changing color 

of the waves

that break 

upon the idle seashore 

of the mind”

                       Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“He does not need opium.

 He has the gift of reverie.”

                              Anais Nin

“One of the best things

 about paintings

 is their silence-

which prompts reflection 

and random reverie.”

                                Mark Stevens 

“It is a good idea 

to be alone 

in a garden 

at dawn or dark 

so that all 

its shy presence 

may haunt you 

and possess you 

in a reverie of 

suspended thought.”

                James Douglas 

 “Do anything 

rather than give 

yourself to reverie”

                     William Ellery Channing 

                        (American moralist)

I have always endeavored

to live in a Reverie.

Music, Musings

of the Mystic

Mind

hold for me

an endless

fascination.

Reverie needs

a space to be.

And creating this 

S P A C E

may require walls.

You might need 

your own apartment.

I did.

Requiring work

and income.

To leave a reverie,

for the hurly burly

of traffic and work

requires arousal-

(NO, not that kind)

- A sort of Reveille.

One steps up to preserve

one's Way of Life!

So blow the bugle

of today's daily tasks!

I will always

carry out

what survival asks!

But reverie

is my home,

my land.

Sharing it with

Y O U

is that Great

Much More

GRAND!

I'm grateful

for our time together.

Do less, Muse More!

Enjoy the holiday season

that is our Life.

A  L  O  H  A !

No longer a profit to striving.

Contentment is success.

Nothing to prove

So be sincere.

Compassion comes easy;

What's needed too.

So just be let.

And let it be

With trust.

So Glad

We Had

This Time

Together!
