If You Ask

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Although we are in different boats,
you in your boat and
we in our canoe, we share
the same river of life.
   Oren Lyons




 Alpinia zerumbet, commonly known as shell
ginger, is a perennial species of ginger
native to East Asia. They can grow up to 8 to 10 ft
(2.4 to 3.0 m) tall and bear colorful
funnel-shaped flowers. They are  
 grown as ornamentals and their leaves are used  
 in cuisine and traditional medicine. They are  
 also sometimes known as the pink porcelain lily,  
  variegated ginger or butterfly ginger.  Wikipedia  





A canoe does not know who is king.
When it turns over, everyone gets wet.
Malagasy proverb Link



"E lei kau, e lei ho‘oilo i ke aloha"
Love is worn like a lei through the winter. 
  Hawaiian Olelo Link



If you ask what is the single
most important key to longevity,
I would have to say it is
avoiding worry, stress and tension.
And if you didn't ask me,
I'd still have to say it. George Burns
