Morning Heart of Waikiki

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The way we experience the world around us is a direct reflection of the world within us. Gabrielle Bernstein


January Pool Waikiki
Morning in the courtyard's frame
turquoise whispers swimmer's name.
Laughter dances on the breeze,
Guests relaxing as they unfreeze

January morning,

In Waikiki's embrace, Sanctuary of this island space. Where worries melt in sun & spray, As fears like feathers drift away.




The peace of nature
wears down the fear and
hatred that arise in me
on bad days, until I
remember at some point
that all we can do is
the next right thing. Anne Lamott


Rainbows are made
of small raindrops.
Happy lives are made from
acts of kindness.
Amit Ray



And if, when it's all over,
I'm asked what I did with my life,
I want to be able to say
"I offered Love"
Terri St. Cloud

That is one long monopole antenna on top of that building. I hope they did wind tests on it before construction.

Your soft breezes and sunshine images provide a welcome distinction from all of us in most of the continental US with our blizzards and frozen roads! How peaceful to see your photos.

LOVE the rainbow and that building is some great mirror. Pixie looks adorable today. And it is always a great time to sit under beautiful shrubs while enjoying a sack lunch and a cool drink. Not hard to find at all, dear Cloudia. Thanks for sharing your awesome photos, quotes, and drink with us for T this Tuesday, dear.
