Waikiki Lazing


Aloha

        
          & Welcome to Hawaii!

Waikiki From Diamond Head

"Better keep yourself clean & bright;
You are the window
through which you must
see the world."

George Bernard Shaw





Queen's Surf

"You will find something more
in woods
than in books.
Trees and stones
will teach you
that which you can never
 learn from masters."

Saint Bernard

"The calm is on the water

 and part of us would linger by the shore-"

Just remember:
We cannot run
-or fly-
until we drop our crutches;
No matter how necessary,
helpful,
or comforting
they once were.

Hi Cloudia!

How are you? As usual your blog is like a mini-resort. I have only been to the Honolulu airport on my way to Kauai but I hope to explore Honolulu someday. That shot from Diamonds head is fabulous!

You have to drop those proverbial crutches in order to grow. Wise words

We have no need to drop the crutches as they are being taken away from us a bit more every day. I won't be able to run or fly but I will be able to fall flat on my face. that may be pretty cool seeing the concrete from an ants eye view.

How do we know it's a crutch and not a necessity? Why do we linger by the shore? Perhaps the water frightens us more?
Ooh you have a book out, how exciting! Or has it been out for months and I only just caught on?!
Big hug on a green march day x

Beautiful photos, and I love the quote from Saint Bernard. Very fitting for me today especially, since I left the city behind and spent the morning out in the woods.

(Psst... I just put up a giveaway for a $50 gift certificate - swing by my blog for a chance to win.)
