a repository of possibilities,

of speaking that language. . . ”

Feeling Good in the New Year

A L O H A !

“Begin at once 

to live, and 

count each separate 

day as a 

separate life.”  

                        Seneca

" When we contemplate 

the whole globe as 

one great dewdrop, 

striped and dotted with

 continents and islands, 

flying through space 

with other stars 

all singing and shining 

together as one, . . . .

. . . the whole universe 

appears as 

an infinite storm 

of beauty. "

                      John Muir

I must confess:

The New Year feels

like a good one.

There is still

churning change

everywhere

in the world.

But good is stirring

too-

putting on it's shoes;

and once aroused

any good thing

is possible!

Look

to Paris.

A new class

of antibiotics

has been discovered.

Drug resistant

bacteria

will be cut down

to size!

New discovery

just like that-

I feel good.

There,

I said it!

Hope you

are feeling

hopeful too.

Tag! You're 

IT!

Run & Play!

Wild Sea Bird Magic

A L O H A !

Here in Hawaii

many sea birds are seen.

These are probably

Manu O Ku

Honolulu's Official Bird.

Known to form strong 

pair bonds,

they always make me think

 how lucky we are
[ or have been ]
if we get to

dance with a partner.
