Connect Resurrect

A L O H A From Honolulu!


And now we welcome 
the new year.
Full of things that 
have never been.
      Rainer Maria Rilke






1950s Porsche Roadster

Let us never know what old age is. 
Let us know the happiness
time brings, not count the years.
                    Ausonius 





What the New Year brings to you 

will depend a great deal on 

what you bring to the New Year.

           Vern McLellan



ELF:
Life is full of beauty. Notice it.
Notice the bumble bee, the
small child, and the smiling faces.
Smell the rain, and feel the wind.
Live your life to the fullest
potential, and fight for your dreams.
  Ashley Smith


All writers have this vague hope
that the elves will come in the
night and finish any stories.

Neil Gaiman






May Wounds become Wisdom;
Every Kindness a Prism.
May Laughter infect you;
Your Passion resurrect you.
May Goodness inspire
your Deepest Desires.
Through all that
you Reach For,
May your arms
Never Tire.
D. Simone

  2. Happy New Year. I wonder whether the elves do have a part to play in Neil Gaiman's work - it is definitely sometimes other worldy.

  9. Happy New Year. Thanks for the spectacular post. I love it that Santa, Mrs. Claus, and at least one elf are relaxing in Hawaii. Pixie looks like she would like to meet that elf or get the turtle to serve her a catnip smoothie to start the new year.
