Where time stands still. That is a cool line, Dr. Ram. I need to brush up on the lingo of Hawaii. Good luck in the contest. LUv, Andrea

Very nice, Dr. Mehta, Time does stand still in a small secluded place like Niihau. And it is definitely a great environment to emulate in gardens around the world (Are you referring to the garden in Adana, Turkey?) The Hawaiian island might be as beautiful as the Garden of Eden where time seemed to stand still during the period of immortality. One could only imagine. Nice haiku for Linda Marie's contest.
