Colors Of The Soul
A L O H A !

there is a path, although
it may not be seen
from the valley. "

“Emotions are the
colors of the soul;
they are spectacular
and incredible.
When you don't feel,
the world becomes
dull and colorless.”

Luck Pays No Part In That
A L O H A !
Dreaming of Waikiki Sunsets
Calmness is a superpower.
The ability to not overreact or
take things personally
Musing on Marin [Ca] Dusk
Just love others and
you will worry less
about what they
think of you.
A thrum, a glimpse, and GONE!
When young, if lucky,
you may have beauty.
When mature, your beauty
consists of your demeanor and
how you treat others.
Luck plays no part in that.
Remember my Friend:
You can handle What Is;
But never tangle
with What If.

Together Instead
A L O H A !
Get lost in love, and
hate won’t find you.
We all have a core of
basic goodness, of
basic Humanity.
The question is how
deep you have to
go to find it.
Childish people try to sound
Complex, adult & important.
People of real understanding
Make the profound simple,
Often with a lively element
Of play and humor.
We walk around fighting
over our clashing illusions.
Let's WAKE together instead!

“It’s OKAY to be scared.
Being scared means
you’re about to
do something really,
really brave.”

"There is no friend like
an old friend who has
shared our morning days,
no greeting like his welcome,
no homage like his praise."

that comes to you,
but do not long
for anything else."

My Two Landmarks
A L O H A !
Diamond Head / Mt. Leahi
Diamond Head is the symbol of
Honolulu, Hawaii & Waikiki.
Golden Gate Bridge - Towards San Francisco
The Golden Gate Bridge
is the world-wide emblem
of San Francisco
Diamond Head Entire, From Tantalus
Elevation: 762 ft (232 m)
Age of rock: 200,000 years
Almost Entire - From Marin Headlands

Contains about 88,000 tons of steel.
Total weight of the bridge is 887,000 tons.
Approximately 80,000 miles of wire inside
each of the two steel cables.
The towers stand 726 feet above the water and
500 feet above street level. They weigh
44,000 tons each and are 4,200 feet
apart from each other.
The bridge is 90 feet wide. Street level is
about 220 feet above the water.
1848 - Captain John C. Fremont names the cleft in the Coastal Mountain Range opening onto San Francisco Bay the Golden Gate. The bridge derives its name from the land feature and not its color.

May 28, 1937 - The bridge is opened to vehicles."
Me & Diamond Head
“I live in my own little world.
But its ok, they know me here.”
Lauren Myracle
Driving across the G.G.
"I have two homes, like someone
who leaves their hometown
and/or parents and then
establishes a life elsewhere.
They might say that
they're going home
when they return to see
old friends or parents,
but then they go home as well
when they go to where
they live now.
Sarajevo is home,
Chicago is home."
Aleksandar Hemon
Yup!
