Flowers, Ships, Dancing Skies

A   L   O   H   A !
" Treasure the love 
you receive 
above all. 
It will survive 
long after your gold 
and good health 
have vanished. "

 Og Mandino






" If you reveal your secrets 
to the wind 
you should not blame 
the wind 
for revealing them 
to the trees. "

 Kahlil Gibran













Docked at the Foot of Nu`uanu Avenue

" The aim of art 
is to represent
 not 
the outward appearance 
of things, 
but their 
inward significance. "

 Aristotle











Grand Jete` [See It?]

 " Each time 
I undertake to paint
 a picture
 I have a sensation 
of leaping
 into space. "

 Pablo Picasso






See It Now?

    I like the Picasso quote. Guess I feel a bit like that when I start a story.

    I can smell the perfect plumeria, and I'm jumping into space. Why didn't someone tell me that good memories become stronger, making a really happy heart? Almost as paralyzing as grief. What a grand change for taking a chance!
