when you don’t plan them,
and you don’t have any
expectations, and you’re
not trying to get
somewhere in particular.

Well Hello!
Oh I'm not a virus,
I'm an Anti-body!




Call for the grandest
of all earthly spectacles,
what is that? It is the
sun going to his rest.

*By his own testimony, De Quincey first used opium in 1804 to relieve his neuralgia; he used it for pleasure, but no more than weekly, through 1812. It was in 1813 that he first commenced daily usage, in response to illness and his grief over the death of Wordsworth's young daughter Catherine. During 1813–1819 his daily dose was very high, and resulted in the sufferings recounted in the final sections of his Confessions. For the rest of his life, his opium use fluctuated between extremes; he took "enormous doses" in 1843, but late in 1848 he went for 61 days with none at all. There are many theories surrounding the effects of opium on literary creation, and notably, his periods of low use were literarily unproductive.      Link

Greatest Power

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You fade away so soon
reminding us to
cherish
this moment.







Honolulu Sings to me.
Most of my memories
are here.






All day long
Oahu skies are eloquent.
Opera and Symphonies

water & wind.

It isn't what you have
or who you are, or
where you are or
what you are doing
that makes you
happy or unhappy.
It is what you
think about.

Sky Obsession

 A  L  O  H  A  From Honolulu!

The beach to me is a sacred zone 

between the earth and the sea, 

one of those in-between  places 

where transitions 

can be experienced – 

where endings can be mourned 

and beginnings birthed. 

A walk along the beach offers

 the gift of the unexpected.

Joan Anderson







From far, from eve and morning,

And yon twelve-winded sky,

This stuff of life to knit me

Blew hither: here am I.

E. M. Forster










An awake heart is like 

a sky that pours light.

Hafiz

















Nothing in the world is 

permanent, and we’re foolish 

when we ask anything to last, 

but surely we’re still more
 
foolish not to take delight

in it while we have it.

          W. Somerset Maugham








I thank you God for this 

most amazing day, for

the leaping greenly spirits of trees, 

and for the blue dream of sky and 

for everything which is natural, 

which is infinite, which is yes. 

   e. e. cummings
