A l o h a !
Welcome to Waikiki
Emerging DRAGON!
Sometimes it feels like one's life -
heck, the WHOLE world-
is doing a HIGH Wire act!
Can you see the tightrope? ENLARGE!
"A well-developed sense of humor
is the pole
that adds balance to your steps
as you walk the tightrope of life. "
William Arthur Ward
"Life is always a tightrope
or a feather bed.
Give me the tightrope. "
Edith Wharton
"Skill is successfully walking a tightrope
between the twin towers
of New York's World Trade Center.
Intelligence is not trying. "
Marilyn vos Savant

Wandering around,
with my camera
and some paper
to write on
connects me to others,
to real life outside of my head;
To sanity.
What are the things
that help Y O U
to maintain your
Balance
&
Poise?

Great quotes and love that Leon Russell clip. One of my faves! Have a splendid weekend, cher! Aloha!
Music, dancing, and festivals help me to maintain my sanity!
Beautiful rainbow!
Church and music do it for me!
<><
Books, music, fresh air time off from work keep me grounded.
You want fresh air? Go to Cloudia's blog!
sunshine and fresh air do it for me everytime....I think I am solar powered!!!
So true. I love that bit about humor. Great photos, friend.
Babysitting my 14 month old grandson does it for me.
Balance and pose? What are they?
I am a mess, all over the place, in fact.
Leon Russell is making a come back of sorts. Fabulous photo of the dragon cloud that gets my vote. Balance and poise for me is listening to lots and lots of music and reading well written books :-).
It is a (black) sense of humour that gets me through. And it is amazing how funny some disasters can be. And gardening, and cats. Thanks, as always great photos, great quotes.
As much as possible, the sound of rain, listening for it to drum me a name.
The ability to remain standing, at rest, to write me fleeting thoughts. Great pictures of the "wire and its challenging walk", life itself. Thank you.
Please have a good weekend ahead.

I can so relate to these quotes! Your blog is always so thoughful and inspiring. I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
Oh and that dragon is supercool in your first shot!
I think just looking for good things around me does that - sometimes I jot them down, but mostly I keep them in my head. As it should be. :)
A great question, demanding a long reverie before responding. Have a lovely weekend.
Very nice! For me, music painting poetry are always welcome in my day!
Every morning I am blogging. That makes my day for the rest of the day.
Beautil ful dragon sky.
ALOHA, Cloudia and have a nice week-end !
That last quote is hilarious!
Wonderful photos... Being outside, in the woods, or with my kids restores my sanity...
A fun post with this agile tightrope walker, and beautiful skies over Hawaii, especially like the rainbow. For me, being out in nature and especially in the company of wildlife makes me feel totally at peace with the world.
LOVE that Wharton quote... yup, that's me too.
I did see the tight rope!...I think it's worth a try myself! Great quote....and again just love those photos....! Happiness to you!
Thank YOU for these amazing comments!
I always grab my camera and shoot something that would best ease my tiredness. Being a nurse with 12-hour shift duty is very tiring, somehow music tend to soothe me but it is reaLLy my camera that keeps me sane :))
It really helps me to connect with friends each week, both at home and in cyberspace. It makes life interesting.
