Cormorant & Pelican
A L O H A !
"A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week
But I'm damned if I see how the helican!"
Dixon Lanier Merritt (1910)
Pelicans fish close to the surface.
Cormorants swim long distances
under the water hunting fish.
But they seem to work together,
or perhaps just enjoy the party!
"Fishing Party On The Lake"
"But what is happiness
except the simple
harmony between a
person and the
life he leads?"
Camus
"Knowing who you are
is the best defense against

A L O H A !
Be Your Best
"Many a trip continues
long after movement
in time and space
has ceased."
Steinbeck
Three Towers
"Someone once told me
that human beings
have three dimensions:
how you see yourself,
how others see you, and
how you want others
to see you.
The closer the distance
between the three dimensions,
the more at peace you are and
the more stable you become."

Let's Not Know Together
A L O H A !
"Dogs are often
happier than men
simply because the
simplest things are
the greatest things
for them!"
Mehmet Murat ildan
We don't know
"To have peace with
this peculiar life; to
accept what we do
not understand; to
wait calmly for
what awaits us,
you have to be
wiser than I am."
M.C. Escher
happier than men
simply because the
simplest things are
the greatest things
for them!"
Mehmet Murat ildan
what might be.
So let's not know
together.
Let's not squander
real peace of mind
on battles that may brew.
Happy Warriors know
that happiness and gratitude
call a power, an authority
that's moving hearts and minds
as arguments do not.
Stand down fellow sentinel
of truth. Fear Not. For we
are the great ocean. And
when the tides assert themselves
we shall ride them to the
shore in exultation.
So rest
So rest
recover (your sofa) and
relax. Spend yourself on
your family this time of year.
Soon enough we march.
Not in indignation, but always
in fellow feeling and in hope.
That's why we are happy warriors.
