We Do Not Believe

A  L  O  H  A !

“ We do not believe

 in ourselves -

- until someone reveals

 that deep inside us 

something is valuable,

 worth listening to, -

- worthy of our trust, 

sacred to our touch. 

Once we believe 

in ourselves -

- we can risk curiosity,

 wonder, spontaneous delight 

or any experience -

- that reveals 

the human spirit.”

                   e. e. Cummings

Your Perfect Place

A  L  O  H  A !

" If I have learnt anything, 

it is that life forms

 no logical patterns. -

- It is haphazard and 

full of beauties which

 I try to catch

 as they fly by,

 for who knows

 whether any of them 

will ever return? "

                        Margot Fonteyn

Is there a 

Perfect Place to live?

That would differ 

for different folks.

A Laplander or Inuit

might hate jungles,

while a jungle woman

would freeze

in their world.

Do you love mountains?

Lakes? Deserts? 

The Sea?

The town of your birth,

or a place made 

just your own

far, far Away?

Town? Country?

Condo or ranch?

Do we need

People like us?

or perhaps a

foreign land?

For some a tiny

uninhabited isle

would be just

perfect,

Perfectly Grand!

Name one thing

you love

about Your Home;

[And one you hate,

IF you dare.]

I'll start us off:

"Hawaii's uniqueness

&

Hawaii's uniqueness"

[for good and less-good]

Now YOUr turn!
