Why Can't We Be Friends?

A L O H A !





" Each step we take 
creates a cool breeze,
 refreshing our body and mind. 
Every step 
makes a flower bloom
 under our feet. " 

- Thich Nhat Hahn











“ There are only two ways to live your life.
 One is as though nothing is a miracle.
 The other
 is as though everything
 is a miracle. ”

Albert Einstein












" To what shall I liken the world?
Moonlight, reflected in dewdrops.
Shaken from a crane's bill. "

 of tiny grains of earth.
 The ocean is made up
 of tiny drops of water. "

    Cloudia, your photos and quotes always bring peace to my heart. The little video is wonderful. "Why Can't We ALL Be Friends?" This video is Aloha manifest, as you taught us before/

    Very cute video although i thought at one stage the cat would end up in the water. I like the quote by Thich Nhat Hahn and the welcoming rainbow photo :-).

    I dig the music. I always sing along when it comes on the radio. It makes me think of college and doing shots in our dorm rooms and making quick friends with everyone who dropped in.

    Wow! This is just so sweet. I wonder if the dolphins smell like fish. It would smell like lovely perfume to the kitty.

    I think the cat had gone slightly insane:

    1) It didn't try to eat the dolphin

    2) It was near water

    3) It knew to keep it's claws in so it didn't become food.
