Good Life Process

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Our own heart, our own mind,
is the temple. The
doctrine is compassion...



...Love for others and respect
for their rights and dignity,
no matter who or what they are:
ultimately these are all we need.
Dalai Lama




No spring nor summer beauty
hath such grace as
I have seen in one autumnal face.
John Donne



The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination. Carl Rogers



People seem not to see 
that their opinion of the world 
is also a confession of character.
      Ralph Waldo Emerson

Love You,
  Pixie & Cloudia



Amaryllis is the only genus in
the subtribe Amaryllidinae.
It is a small genus of flowering bulbs,
with two species.
The better known of the two,
Amaryllis belladonna, is
a native of the Western Cape
region of South Africa,
particularly the rocky southwest
area between the Olifants
River Valley and Knysna.

The Amaryllis almost looks plastic.

Cloudia said...

Yeah alien. That shot is a few years old from my files and may have been actually taken with a camera. Of course everything is on my pixel phone now. Thanks, Mike

Nice collection again. I am still glad that I don't have to use a phone for composing a blog.

Wonderful quotes again. The Dalai Lama is so very wise. Life is not a destination where you reach it and are done. It is a process that lasts your entire life. Have a wonderful Christmas!
