Love Without Reward

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The more you spend your time in the ordinary streets, the more extraordinary things you will learn!
 Mehmet Murat ildan

Faith is not a question of the existence or non-existence of God. It is believing that love
without reward is valuable.
Emmanuel Levinas




Keep your faith in
all beautiful things; in
the sun when it is hidden,
in the Spring when
it is gone.
Roy R. Gilson



Don't force your children into your ways, for they were created for a time different from your own.
Plato



You live longer
once you realize that
any time spent
being unhappy
is wasted.
Ruth E. Renkl

I love the shot of the tree reflected in the puddle. I also love Pixie telling you that you had better not force her into your ways because she is a tuna treats and catnip kitty.

Love without return is poetic.

I love how you always find interesting things in the streets. I'm retired now but I used to love taking walks at lunch in downtown Tulsa. I tried to see something new every day and I did over the course of working 30 years there.

That first shot is amazing in all its details. Pixie looks very alert today, Cloudia. ;-)

Very wise words from Plato.

Dear Cloudia,
Pixie looks like she's meditating this time.
Your collection of quotes is great again. The statements somehow fit well with the murals that I am currently showing and THEIR statements. You show beautiful pictures again, I find the girl in the pink dress particularly adorable.
All the best and happy October days

Belief and faith often goes unawarded. That's a very wise quote.
