If the World is a Stage

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!
 " To the mind that 
is still, 
the whole universe 
surrenders. " 
                      Lao Tzu



Linking to








" The higher we soar 
the smaller we appear 
to those who cannot fly. "
                     Friedrich Nietzsche 











" Before you contradict an
old man, my fair friend, 
you should endeavor  
to understand him. "
                  George Santayana















" If all the world's a stage,
I want to operate 
the trap door. "

    Hawaii HAS cemeteries - some cool historical ones, ethnic ones, and some old forgotten church yards....of course the land embraces the IWI (eee-vee) the bones of the ancestors. . . . .
    Manoa Chinese cemetery is notable.



    Thanks pals! <3
