" If you look around,
you can find a face of God
in each thing, because
He is not hidden
in a church, in a mosque,
or a synagogue,
but everywhere. . .
Who finds Him,
stays forever with him. "

Opened February 1, 1913,Territory of Hawaii
A "Carnegie Library"
In 1841,
life expectancy at birth
was 40 years for males
and 42 years for females.
By 1900 it was
52 and 57.
Today it is 79 and 83.
So many things change with time.
"Starting today,
starting now,
those who have been
invisible,
will be visible to themselves
and to others. "

ReplyDeleteHurray for marriage equality!
ReplyDeleteYou each bring such joy here! Am deeply grateful. You make my day! ♥
ReplyDeleteLove those quotes, Cloudia. I do think some people forget who God really is and where you can find him. I think I heard somewhere that because of junk food life expectancy was now going down. And yes! I was so happy about the gay marriage bill. In fact I was getting my hair cut by a wonderful, gorgeous, gay fellow yesterday and it was great to celebrate with him.
ReplyDeleteThe celebration is wonderful news! Party for a long time, not just one day.
ReplyDeleteYes, many places in Hawaii are better than any church service: the warm perfumed air from all of the naturally growing flowers, and sunrise above the cloud-line at Haleakala, and looking up from a beach surrounded by the cathedral walls of the rising mountains. Aloha, DrumMajor
i love that quote
