Cabin Sunrise

I took this when we were staying in one of the cabins at Bellows Beach a few weeks ago.  From left to right, Manana Island, Kaohikaipu Island, and Makapu'u Head can be seen rising from the water.  I love the stillness of a windward sunrise.  For more sky images from around the world, please check out Skywatch Friday.

A Summer To Remember

“And yet day and night meet fleetingly at twilight and dawn," he said, lowering his voice again and narrowing his eyes and moving his head a quarter of an inch closer to hers. "And their merging sometimes affords the beholder the most enchanted moments of all the twenty four hours. A sunrise or sunset can be ablaze with brilliance and arouse all the passion, all the yearning, in the soul of the beholder.” - Mary Balogh, A Summer to Remember.  For more sky photos from around the world, please visit Skywatch Friday.

A Small Lonely Boat

Like a small lonely boat
sails on the Pacific.
no waves, no wind,
on all the sky-line.
Great is this peace,
calm, tranquility.
The silence so deep,
that one starts to dread.
Realizes how close
the opposite are joined.
The peace and unrest,
the joy and sorrow
the laugh and cry.
They do not fight
against one another,
they keep together,
always coexist.
Cannot you know
the one side of it,
cannot value
the WHOLE like One.
