and inaudible as we 
enter into the world."

  1. Who would have thought that storms, hope and solitude belong together...?

  5. I love you, my friends! The mural is at the Hawaii Convention center in Honolulu and was opened in 1998. Kilauea has been constantly erupting for around 30 years now. I have witnessed the lava hissing into the ocean waves, and wrote about that in my Hawaii Book; But this episode is the most active in my times!

    Thanks for visiting!

  6. Nice mural! And i like all three quotes. But I was thinking that, yes, storms draw something out of me that calm seas don't: sheer terror and a desperate need to hide under the covers! ;)

  7. A very actual mural Cloudia.
    Hope you and your family are well, it all looks very scary from what I see on the news here.

  8. Storms challenge us, I think. And our biology rises to the occasion

  12. I love the old guys playing cards! It is such a common sight to see old guys gathered playing something or just talking! I love it when I see them. Great quotes, Cloudia! ;-)

  13. Your posts are always interesting! "You can't live on Hope alone,
    but you can't live without it." True.

  14. My friend and I were waiting for the elevator down to the parking at Portsmouth Square, San Francisco chinatown's living room. I saw this group of men playing cards and permitted myself only one shot. So glad it worked out
