The end of another perfect Waikiki day



"We all look at Nature too much,
and live with her too little."
Oscar Wilde

"In the main,
and from the beginning of time,
mysticism has kept men sane.
The thing that has driven them mad
was logic."
G.K. Chesterton


<><


In a real situation
you are never really alone.

You plan for the uncertain
by being alive,
grateful,
and resilient
today.


Prudence
should never become
a straitjacket.



And remember:
Don't just act nice;
Be Nice!




with ALOHA, cloudia

If living within the mystical is the key to sanity then it is also the door to logic.

The meanest woman I know is the most adept at "acting" nice. Great post, as usual, plenty of food for thought.

According to the 'Old Calendar' today marks the beginning of the new year too.
Interesting and probably of much joy, that the chin. New Year falls together with Valentine Day - being a 'Tiger' this will hopefully be a good year.

Found some 9 centuries old spirals:

A wonderful Thursday for you.

Beautiful first photo and I like the first two quotes.
Beautiful sky over Waikiki, unfortunately that is not the same thing over the sky of Haïti.
Aloha, Cloudia !

Working on being resilient. My problem is rarely being alone, rather being surrounded.
