A L O H A From Honolulu!
I will not let
circumstances define me
I will not let problems
weigh me down
I will rise above to live my joy
And flourish in adversity
circumstances define me
I will not let problems
weigh me down
I will rise above to live my joy
And flourish in adversity
Take It Or Leaf It
We need the flower's
beauty to inspire,
And we need the
leaf's green strength
to nourish and protect.
Together, they weave a
more beautiful world
Bee on a Crown Flower
The Crown-flower queen,
In robes of lilac blue
With her stems of attendants,
And Bees, around her head.
The little bees are glad,
For they know that she is good,
And the Crown-flower is happy,
In their neighborhood
Together they endure
In harmony and peace.
The crown herself is crowned
By her golden bees.
Desert Rose
Politeness is
the flower of humanity.
Joseph Joubert
Only the weak are cruel.
Gentleness can only be
expected from the strong.
