When I was driving along Hwy 19 in Kona yesterday there was a family of dark brown goats (males, females, kids) just casually walking down the side of the highway. Apparently they are feral& pretty common but their casual stroll captured my attention & inspired today‘s haiku:
Goat Gang 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Brown goat parade struts
Like they own the whole highway—
Cruisin‘ Kona style.
In the visible world of nature, a great truth is concealed in plain sight: diminish meant and beauty, darkness and light, death and life are not opposites. They are held together in the paradox of “hidden wholeness”.
pickI first read this 15 years ago, and found it deeply meaningful during a time when I was both mentoring others in discerning their calling, and discerning a new direction in my own life. Reading it again now brought up so many memories, and the parallels & contrasts between my life then and now are striking. Because of that, it was a difficult read in some ways, but very reassuring in others. ⤵️
And a double-banger straight off the mark, in the book I was already reading.
It's the first one I've double-dipped - but I've decided that for me, if it's in the same sentence/paragraph I can snaffle it.

so-soThis was pretty meh for me. I‘ve always heard so much about this one-that it is a formative version of the genre but it didn‘t hold up well for me and was sooooo long. I almost bailed a few times and didn‘t find the characters at all. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
pickThis book. Untraditional and unconventional. Completely on the perimeter of usual historical romance plotting. In the wake of a devastating stroke, the hero is trapped in a world of pity and silence. He cannot communicate his thoughts or feelings and has sunk into black despair and rage because of the devastating aftermath of a stroke. She is his rescuer and redemption, pretentious and prickly. A Quaker and a rake - and an epic love story.
pickThe 1956 movie has always been one of my favorites. (Even though Jimmy Stewart didn't play in it) I enjoyed the book just as much. A Quaker family in Indiana during the Civil War loved, sang, and laughed. It is just a feel good book.

Who do I contact to correct inaccurate information? It was Gary Cooper who played in the film adaptation not Cary Grant. 🤦🤷
