Hawaii Skies Friday

Song of Old Hawai`i (Instrumental) by Hawaii Calls on Grooveshark
Is anybody enjoying the music?

“The man who fights too long 

against dragons

becomes a dragon

himself”

 

Friedrich Nietzsche














 “When hope is fleeting,
stop for a moment
 and visualize, in a sky of silver,
 the crescent of a lavender moon.
 
 Imagine it --
delicate, slim, precise,
 like a paper-thin slice
 from a cabochon jewel.

It may not be very useful,
 but it is beautiful.

And sometimes
it is enough.”

 Vera Nazarian, 
The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration








 “And the hooded clouds,
like friars,
Tell their beads
in drops of rain.”

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow













" I honored the fallen enemy
by placing a stone 
on his beautiful grave.  "

Manfred von Richthofen








“The moments of happiness we enjoy

take us by surprise.

It is not that we seize them, 

but that they seize us.”

 

 Ashley Montagu

    What's good for me today? Getting together with friends. We saw the George Clooney movie Descendants. As sad as the movie was I enjoyed all the beautiful scenery around Hawaii, and got a kick out of seeing places I have been to.

    I made a smoothie and shared it with my neighbor who was recently widowed. Her smile made our day.

    Definitely, they seize us, but we have to be open to the seizing.
