Teresa and the Vandellas

A   L   O   H   A !

Let's Slow Down enough 

to Be Present.

So we can Notice

More of what is

Right before us.

Ocean refuses

No River;

Open Road

No Rover.

So Drift on over,

Lover of Souls

of Sights

and Smells and

Sounds.

Thus we 

Rebound

Ruthless in Peace

With the Patience

of the Disabled.

Teresa of Avila

Wrote the Rockin`

"Heat Wave." 

She got the Most

Out of Everything

the Universe threw

at her.

So strike up

the Yawn.

Stare out at

the Lawn

Painting the 

Mural of Your
Dusk and Dawn. . .

A   L   O   H   A !

" The happiest people in the world

are not happy all the time.

Awareness

of the suffering

and struggles

of others

makes us empathetic. "

Shawn Achor

Boy & Heron

 " I am so absorbed 

in the wonder of 

earth and 

the life upon it 

that I cannot think 

of heaven and angels."

                                  Pearl S. Buck

" If a child 

is to keep his

 inborn sense of wonder,

 he needs the companionship 

of at least one adult 

who can share it, 

rediscovering with 

him the joy,

 excitement, and 

mystery of the world 

we live in."

                      Rachel Carson

" Those who contemplate 

the beauty of the earth

 find reserves 

of strength 

that will endure 

as long as life lasts. "

Skywatch Hawaii

A   L   O   H   A !

Eloquent Hawaii Skies

" This City now doth, like a garment, wear

The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,

Ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie

Open unto the fields, and to the sky;

All bright and glittering in the smokeless air. "

                        William Wordsworth

Good Fences

These fellows are building 

a temporary fence!

How perfect for 

Good Fences.

A Private Event

 will be held here.

What do you 

MEAN,

 you forgot the 

gate???!!!!!

Voila! Temp Fence Complete

"Whatever I own 

is temporary, 

since we're 

only here for a 

short period of time. 

It's what we do 

and produce,

 it's our actions 

that will last 

forever. 

That's real value. "

"Sex is part of nature.

I go along with nature. "


                                Marilyn Monroe

 “ Nobody sees a flower

 - really -

 it is so small it takes time

 - we haven't time -

 and to see takes time,

 like to

 have a friend 

takes time. ” 

                           Georgia O'Keeffe,

“ Touch me,

 touch the palm

 of your hand to

 my body

 as I pass,

Be not afraid

 of my body. ”

Little Girls Love Waikiki Ducks

A   L   O   H   A !

Click on ducks to enlarge

We are free ducks. 

The lagoons of Waikiki, 

 Kapiolani Park,

The water features

and ponds

of resorts and condos

make us very happy.

We even hang out

with the flamingos

at Honolulu Zoo!

" You must dare 

to disassociate yourself 

from those who would 

delay your journey...
 Leave, depart, 

if not physically, 

then mentally. 

Go your own way, 

quietly, undramatically, 

and venture toward 

trueness at last. "

                     Vernon Howard

 “ To have courage 

for whatever 

comes in life– 

everything 

lies in that. ” 

                          Teresa of Ávila
