Echoes

A L O H A From Honolulu!

FENUA is Tahitian for Land or Island.
A neighborhood place
FAR from Waikiki
- " Cold Drinks " -


Don't explain your philosophy.

Embody it.

Epictetus




Let echo, too, perform her part,
Prolonging every note with art;



- And in a low expiring strain,

Play all the comfort o'er again.
      Joseph Addison





Every creature and plant
is part of mother nature's
amazing interconnected garden...
The whole world is a garden.
   Costa Georgiadis




The answer is not greater and greater
attention to more and more crises.
It is more time spent by each of us
on the nurture of joy and
the cultivation of hope.
David Von Drehle,
Washington Post Opinion

Love You,

Even the Sahara was at one time. It probably will be again sometime in the future.

Oh those beautiful hibiscus. The whole world would be a beautiful place if it was all one big garden. And of course, I love the shaved ice and cold drinks. This place is absolutely perfect for T this week, dear Cloudia.

Cloudia said...

Lovely. I think it was Cicero who said that if you have a garden and a library you have everything you need.

Cloudia said...

I really appreciate hearing that. Thanks for sharing that quote dear friend

I was about to share Cicero's wisdom, but EC beat me to it!

Shave ice is excellent desert since I was young in Asia. Quite nostalgic to look at the sign

The hibiscus reminds me of the plant my parents had in the backyard when I was little. Nice memory :) Happy T Tuesday!
