Jagged edges slide into grooves,
a pattern of irregular shapes
a pattern
beautiful in its complexity.
Heartache smoothed by grace.
Bits of loss reformed.
The pieces make the whole.
Expectations
rigid and firm
shattered to bits,
by Grace reformed.
A new model.
A new whole.
The pieces make the whole.

Today,
right now,
I celebrate
Me !!!
My capacity to love,
to accept,
to be in life,
as it is,
right now.
Trusting, trusting, trusting,
come what may.

that’s my family — mom, dad, aunt, siblings and two best friends — moi ? front row, second from the left
It’s always about the process.
Maui Strong, part of Hawaii Community Foundation, is the best place to make a donation to support the people of Maui.
Mahalo for supporting Maui and all of Hawaii.
It’s reassuring to know that I am simply the vehicle for my soul’s journey.
Not that I’m driving this vehicle, but I am the vehicle.
Destiny is the driver.
And when sadness brushes against my cheek, my heart swallows me whole.
Furry companions
greet me
at every turn.

I imagine that LIFE has whooped you upside the head from time to time.
N’est pas?
Today it hit me that it was time to step out of my hermit closet and make an Sj from the Heart.
The main theme?
That we’re never alone, not really. Our Selves are with us always.

Here are some random videos from my stay in Paris last fall.
Enjoy !

And lastly, Bellevilloise became a favorite hang out for listening to music.
I love Scotland. I love the raw wild coastline and the kind people everywhere.
I love the trains; I love the boats.
Here are a few videos from a visit to Scotland this past fall.
Enjoy!

p.s. there are more videos on my YouTube channel if you want to continue traveling virtually.
If you’re ever able to board one of the vessels operated by St. Hilda Sea Adventures, do !!! There were only 8 people on this particular ship: the captain, chef, and 6 passengers. OMG am I ever glad I splurged and took this trip !!!
And it feels good. ;-)
Does she reply? you ask.
No, but it just feels good somehow to send it, to let her know how I’m doing, what’s going on.
Unconditional love is an amazing thing—no matter how it appears.
