What Is Is & Blue Ginger

A L O H A From Honolulu!

What is true is already so.
Owning up to it doesn't
make it worse.
Not being open about it
doesn't make it go away.
And because it's true,
it is what is...
People can stand what is true,
for they are already enduring it.
   Eugene T. Gendlin



Crown Flower & Younger Siblings
As a pearl is formed
and its layers grow,
a rich iridescence
begins to glow.
The oyster has taken what was
at first an irritation and intrusion
and uses it to enrich its value.
How can you coat or frame the
changes in your life to harvest
beauty, brilliance, and wisdom?
   Susan C. Young



In a forest of a
hundred thousand trees,
no two leaves are alike.
And no two journeys along
the same path are alike.
   Paulo Coelho




Blue Ginger Pleasure Bringer




Live your life
while you have it.
Life is a splendid gift.
There is nothing
small in it.
    Florence Nightingale




Both Sides
If people stopped looking for things that offended them and started looking for things that inspired them, what a wonderful world this would be.




Everyone is Welcome @ Hula's

When in Waikiki
have a drink at
This will be your view.
Yes, that is Diamond Head

Somebody got inspired by blue ginger today. Pixie is wondering if it is anything like catnip...

That is a wonderful photo of Pixie - and the blue ginger looks great too (not as good as Pixie though).

You photographed these flowers beautifully. I can see the textures on the floral petals too.

Beautiful sky and lovely flowers!

Take care, have a wonderful new week.

Some great quotes again. The world is such a negative place these days. People need to look for the positives and celebrate the good. It would really change the entire tone of the world but for some reason the media only loves to spread doom and gloom.
