Micro Kindness

A L O H A From Honolulu!
No act of kindness is too small.
The gift of kindness may
start as a small ripple
that over time can turn
into a tidal wave affecting
the lives of many.
Kevin Heath




Our life, exempt
from public haunt,
finds tongues in trees,
books in the running brooks,
sermons in stones, and
good in everything.
   William Shakespeare




The afternoon knows
what the morning
never suspected.
Robert Frost



Fire burst from its open mouth,
its eyes glowed
with a smouldering glare,
its muzzle and hackles and dewlap*
were outlined in flickering flame.

Arthur Conan Doyle






One can pay back 
the loan of gold, but 
one dies forever in debt 
to those who are kind.
                     Malayan Proverb

What is the purpose of a dewlap on a lizard?
Unique to males, the “blanket” is actually called a dewlap, or throat fan. Green Anoles use their pink dewlaps for two purposes. One is for breeding, displaying their intent to females. The second purpose is more commonly seen and functions in establishing territory among adult males.
