You must not for one instant
give up the effort to build new lives
for yourselves. Creativity means to
push open the heavy, groaning
doorway to life.
Daisaku Ikeda
The world is full of people
who have never,
since childhood,
met an open doorway
with an open mind.
E. B. White
O passing angel,
speed me with a
song, a melody of heaven
to reach my heart and
rouse me to the race
and make me strong.
Christina Georgina Rossetti
- without being seen,
they are present with you.
St. Francis de Sales
The Shower Tree
is a Flower Tree.
Bunches of Oriental Lanterns
hanging, swaying,
lit by the sun.
(Or Moonlight)
This is the
Rainbow Variety,
Honolulu's official tree.
Angels come to us
disguised.
