Waikiki Smiles

A   L  O  H  A !
 Click to Enlarge Wonderful Smile!

" A smile
 will gain you
 ten more years 
of life. "
             Chinese Proverb












Hawaii People are 
SPECIAL!

Why does this man at work
look happier
than the visitors on holiday
below?







“ Over all crowds 
there seems to float a 
vague distress, 
an atmosphere of 
pervasive melancholy. . . "
                                   Émile Zola, 
                                         The Attack on the Mill and Other Stories













The distance between us
 shouldn't matter
 because 
at the end of the day, 
we're all 
under the same sky....

Sometimes when I am
among others
I reflect on the 
strangeness
of this delusion
that we are
strangers.

Thank YOU
for visiting
Friend!
          Fondly, cloudia

I visited Hawaii twice.

A LONG plane ride from the East Coast (and even longer back!).

But I was always smiling when I was there.

I don't see how anyone could look at that smile and not smile right back. Even half a world away at a screen...

The visitors know they have to leave paradise sooner or later. The driver knows he lives in paradise.
