It takes courage to explore the world. But they who explore themselves are the bravest of all.

@Asher2014 We are doing ok. Major fires on all sides of us for a while. Then: rain. blessed rain! Cooler now, autumn is here.

@aurelgil Hoping all is well with you and your Temple!

Photos from Kauai, Hawaii. Beautiful island, great people. I’m grateful to get a good long rest after dealing with post-concussion syndrome all winter & spring. The photo of me enjoying some fried rice in Hanalei was taken by my brother who kindly made this trip possible. Gassho!

@inKittenVeritas My first follower! (followed ya back)

@inKittenVeritas Yes, I did too, I’m not enthusiastic, but I’m disappointed here. I will look for you. Same name?

I think the best part about going on a journey is arriving home.

@SquirrelyGrrl Thanks! Sitting by the ocean watching the waves is really therapeutic!

Looks like one of the aliens from Dr. Who has been hiding out at our neighbour’s farm.

@barbsutter50B Thanks Barbara. Apparently, if you catch llamas and alpacas off guard they can spit at you, but these guys have always been friendly, if a bit skittish.

@aurelgil Beautiful!

I was very lucky to find this. Each guttation droplet has its own little vortex ... Some mushrooms can create their own thermals that actively eject the spores. The drops have captured this process. (the Netherlands) #mushroomtwitter

@kirwantom I just saw this today, answering several years too late. How are you?

@aurelgil Indeed! How are you coping with the heat today?

It takes courage to explore the world. But they who explore themselves are the bravest of all.

@EdgarHNelson Many thanks, Ed. I hope you are well. 🙏🏼🙏🏾🙏🏿

@aurelgil A beautiful poem and photograph!

all morning I’ve been watching clouds drift across the ceiling I am walking through an open door into an ocean of light if someone comes and tells me I must move I’d be obliged to answer: hush! listen! can’t you hear the silence singing hymns of praise?
