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.

    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.

    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
