Watching Honolulu Skies

A  L  O  H  A !

I have lived in Hawaii

almost 30 years.

and  am still infatuated

with Palm Trees,

every kind of palm.

Whether 

By moonlight,

in dusk light, or

flashing the rays

of the sun;

Their finger fronds

finesse a hula

much older by far

than our own.

Palm Trees.

Yeah!

were not hidden 

somewhere behind things,

 they were in them, 

in all of them.”

                  Hermann Hesse

" For darkness restores

 what light cannot repair "

Every Fence Needs A Gate;

But is a Gate alone 

just a small fence?

Your Day

A  L  O  H  A !

by seeing each day 

as a similar one. 

Each day is 

a different one. . . 

 It's just a matter 

of paying attention 

to this miracle. "

SUN !

splendid silent sun

 with all his beams

 full-dazzling. "

                        Walt Whitman

"Call for the grandest 

of all earthly spectacles,

 what is that?

It is the sun 

going to his rest. "

                         Thomas de Quincey

be loved 

is to feel

 the sun 

from both sides. "

Blogging Flaneur

A  L  O  H  A !

" An early-morning walk 

is a blessing for 

the whole day. " 

                     Thoreau

" Why are there trees 

I never walk under 

but 

large and melodious

 thoughts descend 

upon me? "

            Walt Whitman, 

                                 Song of the Open Road    

" … if you walk the 

footsteps of a stranger,

 you'll learn things 

you never knew 

you never knew "

                          Walt Disney

" The spectator is a prince 

who everywhere rejoices 

in his incognito. 

The lover of life 

makes the whole world 

his family. . .

- we might liken him 

to a mirror 

as vast as 

the crowd itself; 

or to a 

kaleidoscope gifted 

with consciousness...

reproducing the multiplicity 

of life and 

the flickering grace 

of all the elements of life. "

Charles Baudelaire,

1863
