What a gift it is
to walk unmolested.
To be anonymous
among others
in the busyness
of life.
To pass
through the streets,
the meadows
that know one
well.
Before he ran for president
Barack Obama
walked alone in Waikiki,
my mother noticed him
but no one else did
yet.
We lament our powerlessness
but in this
we have
what is denied
to kings:
a simple walk down the street
free of notice
free of strings.
Enjoy it! cloudia

Seeing new among the old ... the joy of discovery is enormous
Discover the familiar,I would say !
So true. I don't guess we appreciate that kind of anonymity enough.
A simple walk down the street free of notice free of strings.True :)
I love the walking - lovely.
hello..coming by to greet you good day!
I frequently do and I am grateful for it.
Anybody I meet knows me, but in a good way.
I like the walking quotes, walking certainly is the best medicine.
Oh, that is so true. I love your pictures of the everyday in Honolulu, if you can talk about anything in Honolulu being everyday!
Charming! Thanks, and I have too have the same doctoring! ..walking is and always will be one great passion...as it carries us to see more! ;)
I walk everyday and discover new adventures along the way. Poor fish look sad being out of the water :-).
This beautiful post encourages me to walk and rediscover my surroundings.
Aloha, chica! :)
Thanks.
I love walking, and amaze myself by seeing new things in what I think of as familiar paths.
I knew it! Did Art contact you and hint that I should be keeping up my exercise and walking? He's not watching me so I'm sitting here at my computer... contemplating that piece of chocolate....
It is indeed a wonderful thing to walk and enjoy the scenery unmolested!
So i'm absolutely lucky I stumbled upon this particular web site! You are so smart!!
I only wish many people will feel like all of us! Maintain the nice blogposts I will be checking you now hehe
Wonderful images and lovely quotes.
Wonderful images and lovely quotes.
I can't imagine how restrictive it would be to be recognized everywhere you go. Fine post.
love simple walks down the street and wandering around downtown.
love the photos!
betty xx
JOLLY!!!! Thanks
I share your joy of anonymity. I ruminated on this quite often. Imagine a life where one has no privacy. Every thing you wear, say and do, including a need for a private stroll, is recorded and poached by the world. I can't imagine being the Royals (Kate & Will).
Have a great day Cloudia !

So many are putting your President Obama down. I knew he faced a long walk alone. The spam sent around, accusing him of all sorts of things, is terrible. Canadians adore him.
Lovely to visit your island and feel the holiday healing from our campervanning hols in Yorkshire, England. Every Blessing
The miracle of walking. When all the parts know their roles and act perfectly. So true!
Just stopping by to say Aloha to you Cloudia!!
Interesting sights captured.
love the fish !!!
Stopping back over to say HEY!
You are right! Your blog hasn't updated on my Roll in four days!!
Aloha my friend!!

"To find new things,

this is so true, every time we pass through, we see something new, something more. There's always more to uncover.
And anonimity - sometimes it's a beautiful think.
