Skipping all the way to Serene

Young school days
Delivered at chime
Manage our manners
Butterfly minds

Expressing ways
Finger painting
Stick writing
Smiles arise

Acting out plays
Story telling
Puddle jumping
Splashing some

Along The Surface of The Sun

Riding that rainbow wave along the surface of the Sun,
we find the need for some serious fun.
Blazing color sweeping stop the wavy horizon of searing heat,
a radiant, tropical palette paints the days complete.


Turn up the flame.
Burn our desires.
Sizzle up the atmosphere.
There is no shame.


Sweet potato fries we share with friends.
Fry 'em up. Dip 'em and dunk them in.
Hot sugared Malsadas burning at our finger tips.
Tongues bouncing, hot-hot-hot, pop more in.


Burning sticky hot, we cannot stop.
Pinch hold our earlobes to cool them off.
Tricky tricky, sees our waitress.
Mama shakes her head and laughs it off.


Splash hot coffee with drop of a sugar cube.
Cinnamon sprinkle and a honey spoon.
Hot spring bubbles burst the surface.
Jacuzzi tub jumping at high noon.


Tuna Poke, soy and ginger.
Salmon skin sticks with Aioli.
Fireside, tiki torch, candlelight.
Roy's serving chocolate lava tonight.


Lover, lover.
Cool it down.
Mango, cayenne.
Pele come around.



Hot Summer Fun at Roy's Restaurant.

Creative Courtyard

Everyone needs a 'Creative Courtyard' ...even if it is a dark basement with a slide show wall of vacation photos. A few simple framed views that make my mind wander and heart wonder.
Moving slowly and progressively forward, while finding focus in my present Happiness. This is the place that reminds me most of my travels, taking me back to places I wish I were able to camp out everyday. After so many summers spent on the islands of Hawaii, on my mind lately are the mountains of Mexico: San Miguel de Allende.
