Tell me a thousand things silently so I can claim I did not hear them.

I have been dreaming to travel to Hawaii more than 20 years now. Maybe I travel to this paradise once.

But while waiting I can visit your blog!!!

My dog would definitely not be liking the paddle idea, though it makes a wonderful picture. :-)

君不見黃河之水天上來,奔流到海不復回。君不見高堂明鏡悲白髮,朝如青絲暮成雪。人生得意須盡歡,莫使金樽空對月。天生我才必有用,千金散盡還復來。烹牛宰羊且為樂,會須一飲三百杯。岑夫子,丹丘生,將進酒,杯莫停。與君歌一曲,請君為我傾聽耳。鐘鼓饌玉不足貴,但願長醉不用醒。古來聖賢皆寂寞,唯有飲者留其名。陳王昔時宴平樂,鬥酒十千恣歡謔。主人何為言少錢,逕須沽取對君酌。五花馬,千金裘,呼兒將出換美酒,與爾同銷萬古愁。(李白〈將進酒〉)

This is the entire poem from your third Chinese "proverb." It is actually two lines from a Tang dynasty poem by Li Bai (Li Bo). And the title of the poem is "Drink Up." It's about growing old and remembering one's youth and not being quite where one expected to be in middle age, but still being sure that since you are on earth, you are useful. It's one of my favorite poems.

Loved the photo of the dog on the canoe! I can feel that warm water right now. I'm ready for a nice refreshing swim in the ocean. And it is as nice as it gets in Hawaii.
