Good Day's Work


Happy New Year Celebration

"Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work,
from illuminating the fog that surrounds us."
Henri Matisse

Golden sunrise coming:   ...Waiting for the sun. Loving the gold sky. Makes me feel life is all possibilities. Moments for creativity and the sharing of aloha... "aloha & samurai spirits." I just love that. TY!  ...Sky toward Asheville glows color. Just a few beautiful clouds. Clear, clear day.   ...Much too bright to look at straight on. hmmm. Am I talking about the sun... or our dear // (ˆˆ)

Thing You Love

But they will mean nothing to you
 if you lose sight of the thing you love."
 
Oliver Sacks

 Love this golden baby blue sky. Very light & lovely.

and they will be simple."

Am I?


"But what am I? An infant crying in the night: 
An infant crying for the light:
 And with no language but a cry."

Sword of Light

"Out of the scabbard of the night,
By God's hand drawn,
Flashes his shining sword of Light,
And lo, the
dawn!"
~ Frank Dempster Sherman

Fog... And light.... And breathtaking beauty on the ridge. Photos will not do it justice... changing as I post this. Colors & Light!  ♥...Completely blanketed in fog.  ♥ ...Drama. Fog. Wet air. Cold. Light, Blurred reality. Sensual. Fantastic!  ♥...Am I completely buried in fog? Or am I being transported in a gigantic cloud?

Always the Language


"I learned that to be amusing
was not to be frivolous
 and that language – always the language –
was the magic key as much to prose as to poetry."
~ Christopher Hitchens


oh... God... the sky is afire & I'm catching my breath. So beautiful outside! ...As luck would have it, the sun was swallowed by the clouds before it crested. But will share the sky I say my prayers to and wish you an excellent day.

Two Eyes

My avocation with my vocation
As my two eyes make one in sight."

Significance






















"I feel the capacity to care
is the thing which gives
life its deepest significance."
~
Pablo Casals

Will be driving into sun. Heading off to Charlotte, NC for personal business. Will take my time & enjoy the day. (Love visiting Charlotte.) ...Lights of Asheville glow like stars. Clouds are puffs of gray goodness. Dawn. ...Kindness... then spread kindness jelly some more.

Being Good

"Early in life—I was two, maybe three—
I developed what I would
call a 'sensitivity to good'
with a
capital G—
what a man should
be doing in this life.
That was
my purpose in life,
I discovered: being good."
~ Aaron Feuerstein

Gold... My ridge glows golden as I wait for sun to crest. Cold. Invigorating. Life-affirming morning.

Sweetness of Life

"By home, we mean a place
in which the mind can settle…
a refuge to which we flee
in the
expectation of finding
those
calm pleasures,
those soothing
kindnesses,
which are the sweetness of life."
~ James Bean

Counting My Blessings

Waipahu, Oahu

"When I started counting my blessings,
my whole
life turned around."
~
Willie Nelson

Overcast this morning, but still, the sun comes through. I am at Patsy Mink Park, watching my nephew play Freshman baseball. What a wonderful gift, this day is!
