Welcome to Wednesday in Honolulu

Let's take a stroll through local history. . .
just off busy King St.




"It is such a secret place, the land of tears.”

Antoine de Saint-Exupery






"I am like a falling star who has finally found her place next to another in a lovely constellation, where we will sparkle in the heavens forever.”


Amy Tan






“To leave a place is to die a little”

French Proverb







“Write injuries in sand, kindnesses in marble”

French Proverb



"With Jesus in Heaven"






"Killed by Automobile"


"Ask yourself: Have you been kind today?
Make kindness your daily modus operandi
and change your world."
Annie Lennox


<><
It can be very peaceful visiting with the people
who built our Hawaii of today.


They still have lasting lessons to teach us.



Hawaiians, Portuguese, Diplomats, Americans, Tahitians,
Royalty and Religious. . .



All together here as in life.




Thank you for all you did!
There is no place like Honolulu, my home.



ALOHA, cloudia

Walking among the dead is always the place where I know there will be peace to go with the solitude of them.

I find things like this fascinating, like clues to lives that sometimes are forgotten - yet not.

That's too bad about the boy being killed by the automobile. I read once that back in the early days of cars, there were only two registered vehicles in the entire state. (I forget which state). They ran into each other!

Annie Lennox's quote is a great place to be, even if it nullifies the quest for finding the perfect "zingers"... in the perfect time frame...

All the best to you, Cloudia.

Tschuess,
Chris

Just dropping by to say hello.

As always, great photos with nice quotes to ponder. This one is quite different but simply fascinating.

I try to start school with this thought. Sometimes I become distracted, sadly!

Beautiful post.

What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
