Found Art Friday 267

Dear ones,

The artist has been in fact "At Large" -  this time, along with one fine gentleman, having the good fortune to land ourselves on an island made of water held in place by leaves.  A small upcropping of earth magma oozed from the Pacific Plate, now cooled and eroded, furnished with sand. 

Glimpse from Kauai's Hindu Monastery where cow sculpture was blessed along with our very foreheads

Palm Tree Triptych captured by Gentleman Jeff

 

Very small cross-section of meditation banyon at the aforementioned monastery

On a long walk, we fell in love with Shelly and her (his?) elegant armor, as casual a creature as we've ever met with ravishing leg fingernails

 colors cooked and ground into a color

Aloha Mahalo Aloha Mahalo Aloha Malahalo all so mellifluous sounding, "Moana" has more of a sense of open ocean, and of vastness of the ocean ....

While there, we read from Rachel Carson's "The Sea Around us" .."each of us carries in our veins a salty stream in which the elements sodium, potassium, and calcium are combined in almost the same proportions as in sea water.  This is our inheritance from the day, untold millions of years ago, when a remote ancestor, having progressed from the one-celled to the many-celled stage, first developed a circulatory system in which the fluid was merely the water of the sea.  In the same way, our lime-hardened skeletons are a heritage from the calcium-rich ocean of Cambrian time."

 Now home, we must get happy about Yogi tea bags before walking outside.

And you?  Please send fodder to homelandinspiration@gmail.com :)
