Aloha Thursday


A  L  O  H  A !
" It is only

 in an atmosphere 

of quiet 

that true joy 

dare live. "


Bertrand Russell










  “ Sometimes being a friend 

means mastering the art 

of timing. -







- There is a time for silence.

A time to let go 

and allow people 

to hurl themselves 

into their own destiny.

 And a time to prepare 

to pick up the pieces 

when it's all over.”


 Gloria Naylor 





Ah! The "original"

Yeah, letting go is hard, since we can't fix everyone's stuff.

Okay, I got the coffee. The eyeballs say those are purple leaves. Brain is struggling, since I'm not doing all those cute things I did in the '60s/'70s. The pink hotel I understand.
Aloha for the spin. DrumMajor
