Holiday-ing




Little Honolulu shack under the rainbow


"You can make more friends in two months


by becoming interested in other people


than you can in two years by trying to get other people


interested in you.


-Dale Carnegie





Helicopter shot?
A little spirit house outside a Thai Restaurant.




"Ideas are like rabbits.


You get a couple and learn how to handle them,


and pretty soon you have a dozen."




-John Steinbeck.








Doogie Hawser



"We cannot hold a torch to light another s path


without brightening our own."


Ben Sweetland






Delicate red lines tease.



"Live in rooms full of light."


Cornelius Celsus

The ancients loved their holidays
festivals
special periods
the KAPU
the carnival.

Going to the local parade
or better,
being in it
is the core of who we are.

Instinctively
it's understood
that life is a carnival
a special thing
too wonderful to confine
with an endless routine.

Holiday-ing speaks richly
to our vagabond souls
for whom life itself
is a party.

Enjoy YOUR day!

G' Day from Australia, I to like the Dale Carnegie quote because you really do have to leave your comfort zone or cave to enjoy life. Taking part in a carnival is a good start.
