Disappearing Peaks

*

Last night
I sat down
and enjoyed writing a response
to each of you
because I had so enjoyed
your diverse and interesting comments,
suggestions for becoming centred
and regaining a sense of equanimity


and then I pushed publish
and kazam
the entire screed disappeared

I said something like
dang
darn
drat


 well maybe something like that -
and I gave up


But I wanted you to know
that I found each of your comments
interesting
and valuable

and love that so many of us are
on the same page...




So tonight
I have pulled up a post
written in Hanalei, Kauai
that seems pertinent
to the topic of disappearances
and also to gains
to silver linings...

****

 Disappearing Peaks

and Waterfalls

 

On these days

in Hanalei

 

the mountain peaks 

can come and go

 

in fact

whole mountains

can disappear

 

later to return

adorned with waterfalls

 

 that tumble down 

the steep mountainsides

to the valley below

and race to the sea...
