Say Goodbye Blue Sky

Say Goodbye Blue Sky, a photo by TomRaven on Flickr.

"People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle."
— Thich Nhat Hanh

I Raise My Eyes

I Raise My Eyes, a photo by TomRaven on Flickr.

Next to the sea in the autumn,
your laughter must raise
its foamy cascade,
and in the spring, love,
I want your laughter like
the flower I was waiting for,
the blue flower, the rose
of my echoing country.
- Pablo Neruda

A Parade of Clouds

A Parade of Clouds, a photo by TomRaven on Flickr.

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"
— Hunter S. Thompson

Obscured By Clouds

Obscured By Clouds, a photo by TomRaven on Flickr.

Bridges burning gladly
Merging with the shadows,
Flickering between the lines.
Stolen moments floating softly on the air,
Borne on wings of fire and climbing higher.

Ancient bonds are breaking,
Moving on and changing sides.
Dreaming of a new day,
Cast aside the other way.
Magic visions stirring,
Kindled by and burning flames rise in her eyes.

From Burning Bridges by Pink Floyd from the album Obscured By Clouds

Island Blues

"I've been feeling a little blue - just a pale, elusive azure."
— L.M. Montgomery (Anne of the Island)

Small puffy white clouds hang over Kapiti Island as it basks like a Crocodile between the deep blue sea and the sky blue sky.
