Too Bright to See the Old Way

 A  L  O  H  A
"Better keep yourself 
clean and bright; 
you are the window 
through which you 
must see the world."
 George Bernard Shaw




















Guests by my garden wall

"God visits us often, 
but most of the time 
we are not home." 
                                       French Proverb

every time I thought of you, 
I could walk in 
my garden forever."

Hawaii Photo of the Day

A  L  O  H  A !

Been Here Before

A  L  O  H  A !

The storm has broken.
Good feelings are returning.

They always do.









The tumult of upending
our lives is calming into
discovery & routine as 
Spring Succeeds Winter.








I have seen this before,
how fear yeilds to tension
-and back again-










Like a changing sky










Then an angel of calm
whispers good sense
in my ear. This time I
will listen and relent;










Hyper-vigilance gives way

to reverie and healing.






Approaching Golden Blogger Isle, Calif

Strong enough to
leave one identity behind
and just be another face
for a while.

Here is where I come to
find the thread of sense
through it all. 









I am nobody.
Are You nobody too?
Together we are the
Real Essential Somebodies
of the World at This Time
in all of our multiplicity
of places. I see you in
Perth, Mumbai, SO Cal,
Ottawa, Texas
Toronto, 
Kuala Lumpur.

I see you.

And I thank you.

Together we bump
bump down the funny
stairs of life.

Thanks for being a 
FRIEND.

It means a Lot-
              Fondly, cloudia

beautifully wrapped in

consider a small one."
