"The world is full of magical things

patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper."

Bertrand Russell

"It is strange that the years teach us patience;

that the shorter our time,

the greater our capacity for waiting."

Elizabeth Taylor

"There are times

when even the best manager

is like the little boy with the big dog,

waiting to see where the dog wants to go

so he can take him there. "

Lee Iacocca

Funny how the life I had

growing up

in that big, eastern, mainland city:

walking the city scape,

it's hours, seasons, changes

(and my own)

funny how I'm living

the same way in a new

and different environment.

Nature? Nurture?

It's just the way that I am. . .

As long as there is a sidewalk

preferably, now, by a sea shore,

in view of mountains,

among ever changing shoals

of human interactions,

some cool architecture,

dear greenery,

and street food,

I will be a walker

gentle presence

hander-over

of dollar bills. . .

Think of me as a "Beach Town Thoreau,"

chronicler of rainbows,

enabler of random Aloha,

direction-giver to visitors.

As such

it is most important for me

to ramble Waikiki

with no destination

but happiness.

I recommend that

YOU try it.

Take your amicability out for a walk.

Bless the world

great & small

with your gaze.

Oh!

and who is Ivan Osokin?

He is Ouspensky's hero

who, given the chance for a

life do-over

creates exactly the same existance

even with the wisdom

of experience.

Character is destiny.

The only solution

is to adopt the character

you WANT to have!

And thanks for blessing mine

with your friendly attention!
