Courage and Fantastic Breaks

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!
" It isn't for the
 moment you are struck
 that you need courage, 
but for the long 
uphill climb 
back to sanity 
and faith and 
security. "
                          Anne Morrow Lindbergh












" You achieve little
 by getting angry, 
whereas if you show 
patience & understanding, 
you will progress far. "
                              Anon











 “The fantastic breaks 
the crust of appearance. . . 
something grabs us 
by the shoulders to
 throw us outside ourselves.
 I have always known that 
the big surprises await us. . .” 
                        Julio Cortázar

 to risk the unusual,
 you will have to settle
 for the ordinary. "

  4. The critters today are super-cool. I love the griffin (???) or lion with jewels on its back. The quotes are excellent, as well.

  9. That's one cute critter. Anne Lindbergh Morrow's quote reminds me of the song "Starting All Over Again" by Iz. The song -- and now the quote -- always gives me inspiration to keep on going. :-)
