Pour yourself like a fountain.

Flow into the knowledge that

what you are seeking

Finishes at the start, and with ending,

begins.

--Rainer Maria Rilke

I'm brainless today...

How can there be such a feeling of utter exhaustion after nine days of relaxation? I'm still trying to locate my conscious brain this morning...where did I leave it? I believe it may still be floating above the exquisite coral 'gardens' at Ka'anapali Beach in Maui, perhaps even wondering where the rest of my body is?

More photos to come...thank you to Patricia Green for this one (from the Morgue file).
