Onward Voyager

A   L   O   H   A !
Every painting is a voyage 

into a sacred harbour.

Giotto di Bondone












There's nothing written in the Bible, 

Old or New testament, that says, 

If you believe in Me, you ain't 

going to have no troubles.

Ray Charles











Just to be is a blessing. 

Just to live is holy.

    Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel*












 Pleasure is spread 

through the earth in

stray gifts to be claimed 

by whoever shall find.

William Wordsworth, 1806















Palm Grove At Waikiki
I didn't want to tell the tree 

or weed what it was.

I wanted it to tell me something 

and through me express its 

meaning in nature.

     Wynn Bullock

















I began to have an idea of my life, 

not as the slow shaping 

of achievement to fit

my preconceived purposes, but 

as the gradual discovery and growth 

of a purpose which I did not know.

Joanna Field









Love YOU,
                      Cloudia & Pixie

Camera Critters

Considered “one of the truly great men” of his day and a “great prophet” by Martin Luther King, Jr., Heschel articulated to many Jewish Americans and African Americans the notion that they had a responsibility for each other’s liberation and for the plight of all suffering fellow humans around the world (“Conversation with Martin Luther King,” 2).  Link

Responsibility is a concept we need to hear more about. Sadly it too often gets drowned by the clamour for 'rights'.

Ooh, spotted Honolulu at Skywatch Friday & had to come check it out. I'm from Aiea although living in NYC for many many years now. Lovely to see some scenes from home. <3
