Resemblance

ALOHA !

They Say. . .

. . . That I resemble my uncle.

Can you believe THAT?!

" Wit consists in seeing the resemblance

between things which differ,

and the difference

between things which are alike. "

Opposite

A L O H A !    ( Means 'Goodbye' as well as 'Hello'  :)

Is it the "Big Picture"

and you will almost always

do well. "

Rousseau

" Caress the detail, the divine detail. "

Look at the Mother

ALOHA !

Is beauty skin deep?

" Poetry lifts the veil 

from the hidden beauty of the world "

Percy Bysshe Shelley

What lies beneath? 

They say that before you marry a woman,

you should. . . 

. . . Look at her mother!

Morning Sand

ALOHA !

Every morning,

the sand is beautifully prepared 

for the day!

It's fun to walk on. . .

 

It doesn't stay that way for long. . . 

In fact, it quickly gets interesting . . . 

But who is this early Zen artist?

Ah! The Barber Surf Rake!

  I like to call it the "Sand-Boni."

A L O H A !

“If toast always lands butter-side down,

and cats always land on their feet,

what happens if you strap toast 

on the back of a cat 

and drop it?” 

Stephen Wright

“ Cats are dangerous companions for writers

because cat watching

is a near-perfect method

of writing avoidance. ” 

Dan Greenburg

“ The cat has too much spirit

to have no heart. ” 

Ernest Menaul

“The cat lives alone, has no need of society,

obeys only when she pleases,

pretends to sleep that she may see more clearly,

and scratches everything

on which she can lay her paw.” 

François R. Chateaubriand

“The cat is above all things,

a dramatist.” 

Margaret Benson

My Day, Your Day

A L O H A !

In this place -

- There is grace

Today is a flame

 Relieved by grace.

So meet me again tonight-

 In our special place.

We are called

to be bridge builders;

but too many of us

are merely

toll takers.

You are welcome for free,

here on the Spiral Jetty.

       Warmly, cloudia
