Pieces Of It

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Looking at beauty in the world
is the first step of
purifying the mind.
 Amit Ray



 - during the 19th century,
the sacred dance was spurned
as Christian missionary influence
swept over the islands. Public
performances of hula—
deemed a vulgar pagan ritual—
were outlawed.
National Geographic Link

Nature knows no indecencies;
man invents them.
Mark Twain  


Snow on the roof - Memories within:

In the depth of winter,
I finally learned that
there was in me
an invincible summer
Albert Camus



Wander often. Wonder always
Anonymous


If there is any wisdom
running through my life now,
in my walking on this earth,
it came from listening in the
Great Silence to the stones,
trees, space, the wild animals,
to the pulse of all life
as my heartbeat.
Vijali Hamilton

For the first time ever, ALL of these quotes came from one source! Typically I hunt for each quote for each photo in a post. Today I merely scrolled down and  the next one that fit the next photo showed up! Here is the link

Aren't we lucky that there is a LOT of beauty in the world.

A pox on every missionary that didn't stay home and mind his own business and visited other lands and declared that other people's customs were obscene. "When in Rome do as the Romans" was sage advice when it was given and remains so to this day. Think I'll go on You Tube now and find a hula dance!

Beautiful photography, beautiful words and beautiful Pixie.

I'm sorry I'm so late. Workers showed up this morning to tear out our kitchen for the last part of the remodel and we had no idea they were coming. We worked our behinds off cleaning out all the drawers and cabinets.

Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.

Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches to Pixie. ♥

Why do missionaries have to inflict their beliefs on others. I am always shocked when I read ANYONE attempts to impose their beliefs by force over another person or group of people. I love how all the quotes came from that one site today, but your photos make the quotes come to life. Pixie seems unaffected by the maintenance person. She is so photogenic and knows it!

Love the drink reference. It is perfect for T this week, dear Cloudia.
