Believe To Bloom

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Through the blackest night,
morning gently tiptoes,
feeling its way to dawn.
Robert Brault




Philodendron

In hushed tones of emerald green,
A philodendron shyly seen,
Unfurls its leaves in nature's art,
A growing, green, and gentle heart.





If you want to live in peace, 
you must not tell 
everything that you know, nor 
judge everything that you see.
Respect for the rights 
of others is peace.
          Mexican Proverb



This is the end of yesternight,
This is the hour the heart is laid
Open to life!
Frances M. Frost, "Day"



It is by believing
in roses that one
brings them to bloom.
French Proverb


ᄬᄬᄬᄬᄬᄬᄬᄬᄬᄬᄬᄬᄫ
Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia

The pictures today are so wonderful, I can't decide which I like best. Pixie is doing her best to believe... in catnip crunchies.

Oooo, could we have a link to those wonderful old doors of a Hawaii Fire Dept station? Are those for real? Am I guessing correctly? Where are they located? Linda in Kansas

Those are the doors of the central Honolulu fire department station on Beretania Street!

Thanks friends. You are delightful. Aloha

Mahalo! I looked it up: built in 1934 with aluminum doors from San Francisco; Art Deco. Totally cool. Linda in Kansas
