TRIBALRY

Aloha!

Thanks for Visiting



The only truly valuable things

are time,

and love.

All else is mere exchange.








We all struggle with limitations.

None of us can be 100%

100% of the time.

How we handle those limits

is ultimately more important

than what they are. . .





"The question is:

'Will you be a wounded hurt-er

or a wounded healer?'"


Cornel West






"Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering.

There is a crack in everything,

That's how the light gets in."


~Leonard Cohen





"Peace is our gift to each other."


Elie Wiesel

Your visit & comment

are gifts

that I value;

A poet philosopher you are. And you have a remarkable camera eye.

Hi from the hills;
let's all do as you say and be healers rather than hurters.

Aloha, friend.

I can be 100%, 100% of the time because I keep changing the limits I must live up to.

Gorgeous flower, Cloudia. I can't believe it's another week already. Is it just me or is Time speeding up?

Hello, friend. Just popping in to see what you're up to. Loving the photos and food for thought.

I had an old stilted house in Nuuanu. Out my kitchen window was a panoramic view of Honolulu Harbor, Aloha Tower. I would stand at the sink doing dishes while the wind whipped thru jalousie windows blowing my hair and anything not weighted down. I loved it there. Aloha

Wonderful quotes and photos, as ever

Those photos are gorgeous Cloudia and I enjoyed reading this post. Today has been full of little niggles. In fact, I felt quite grumpy after them all and couldn't believe that everything came at once, a bumper crop of downers. Then I remembered a friend of mine who has managed to get through a very tough life with an upbeat attitude. She often said, "People can be in pain but they don't have to be one", saying all this with a smile on her face. In the grand scheme of things to get upset at those niggles seemed very silly. So, here's my frown turned upside down :) I think there's a song about that somewhere isn't there? I am leaving your blog smiling. Aloha my friend. Many smiles to you from Virginia.
