There’s the Wisdom

A  L  O  H  A !

what you don’t say. "

Incognito

A  L  O  H  A !

“If we know 
exactly where we're going, 
exactly how to get there, 
and exactly what 
we'll see along the way, 
we won't learn anything. ”

is a prince 
enjoying his incognito 
wherever he goes.” 
                         Charles Baudelaire

whatever I wanted
 to be
 if I trusted 
that music, that song, 
that vibration of God 
that was inside 
of ME. "
                       Shirley MacLaine

No Rainbows Alike

A  L  O  H  A !
“There is a looming chasm 
between what your brain knows 
and what your mind 
is capable of accessing. "
                           David Eagleman





























No two snowflakes
are alike.

Consisting 
of hexagonal crystals,
  each has six sides 
or branches.







But rainbows
are ephemeral.
No two companions
see one alike.

There are ends to seek,
but nothing to count
and quantify.







Rainbows & Snowflakes
melt.

Pause to hear
the snowflakes land,
the rainbow's sizzle.
Does it sound like
a violin?

One hand clapping?



Together
let's pause
in the blog-0-sphere's
twilight.

Just feels right.
Thank You!

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!

                               Warmly, cloudia
