Loving two places so distinctly different from each other is fascinating. Never does a day go by that I am not thankful for the many years I've been fortunate to enjoy what I consider the two most wonderful places on planet Earth. I declare it again .. "I am a very lucky man".
We obviously can't be in both places at the same time
So ..
How do we deal with feelings of melancholy associated with absence ?
Yesterday I photographed a beautiful orchid in my Kauai yard ..
only the magic of that moment existed within me.
In France .. I photographed the beautiful grounds where I stayed ..
serenity and peacefulness cradled me in that place.
I accept that pain .. it is the pain of love.
When I feel overwhelmed by physical separation
I will seek the comfort of nature ..
the loving arms of Mother Earth ..
knowing She is
Always There ...
from Kauai to Paris ... and all places between
Aloha et Au revoir
