to follow to develop

and deepen our

spiritual life:

slow down and let go.

Let that one

dandelion be YOU.

Strelitzia nicolai, commonly known as the giant white bird of paradise or wild banana, is a species of banana-like plants with erect woody stems reaching a height of 6 m (20 ft), and the clumps formed can spread as far as 3.5 m (11 ft).

The 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in)-long leaves are grey-green and arranged like a fan at the top of the stems, similar to Ravenala madagascariensis.  The entire flower can be as much as 18 cm (7.1 in) high by 45 cm (18 in) long, and is typically held just above the point where the leaf fan emerges from the stem.

Our worries always

come from our weaknesses...

Strong people can

always afford to be gentle,

only the weak are

intent on

FIGHTING A LOSING BATTLE...

I would rather have a

big burden or hardship,

but have a strong back,

than turning everything

topsy-turvy and a mess. Napz Cherub Pellazo

Maturity of mind

is the capacity

to endure

Uncertainty.

       John Finley

If life were

predictable

it would cease

to be life, and

be without flavor. Eleanor Roosevelt

During periods of

root expansion

things have always

looked as

confused and

topsy-turvy

and purposeless as

they do now.

The whole Renaissance

is supposed to have

resulted from the

topsy-turvy feeling

caused by Columbus'

discovery

of a new world.

It just

shook people up.

Much of spiritual life

is self-acceptance,

maybe all of it.

      Jack Kornfield, 

Every time it feels like

the world is out of control,

all I have to do is look up,

and I remember there is an

order to everything. There is

someone bigger than

my problems,  bigger than anything

that can happen in this world.

And because of that, I can

breathe a sigh of relief.

The Seal, The Ant, and Ducks

A L O H A From Honolulu!

On Saturday morning

I walk to the beach.

It's just a short distance from

where I walk by every morning;

But on Saturday I cross Kalia

and walk down Paoa Place

between the Hale Koa,

and the Hilton.

Today I saw a black feral cat 

catch a grey dove

pulling it down!

But perhaps being unschooled

in the hunt, or surprised,

kitty lost her grip in the flutter

as dove flew up and away.

What else will we see?

A blessed haze lies upon all

this region, wherein is held

a little more of the sunlight

than other places hold,

and a little more of the

summer's humming music

of birds and bees; so that

men walk through it

as through a faery place,

and feel greater joy and

wonder than they ever

afterward remember.

   H.P. Lovecraft

Resting Hawaiian Monk Seal! Full grown!

Ocean is more ancient

than the mountains, and

freighted with the memories

and the dreams of Time.

Laziness Personified.

We do not see them 

hunting, and traveling

hundreds of

miles at sea!

Meet my ant

on a crepe ginger blossom

When you meet with

your old friends, you

recollect some of the finest

moments of your life

and find yourself in a

joy that has no comparison. Syed Badiuzzaman

There's nothing half so pleasant

as coming home again. Margaret Elizabeth Sangster
