A L O H A From Honolulu!
Life gives us more gifts in a day
than we unwrap in a year.
John Sarris
than we unwrap in a year.
John Sarris
Poised as a statue carved in concrete,
The only stillness on the street
Delivery trucks rumble cacophony,
Yet her silence blooms in mystery.
Scent of frying noodles
sweet and strong,
As Chinatown shoppers
hurry along...

[smell of the tea-house]
Laughter is the shortest
distance between two people.

'Twas not given for thee alone,
Pass it on;
Let it travel down the years,
Let it wipe another's tears,
'Til in Heaven the deed appears -
Pass it on.
Henry Burton
I like the intimation that
our actions reverberate far
further than we know.
And that someday we may
fully appreciate how far!

Self-control is something
for which I do not strive.
Self-control means wanting to be
effective at some random point
in the infinite radiations of
my spiritual existence.

Another great sky shot.
ReplyDeleteThe photo of this young lady certainly makes me wonder what she is thinking. Great words and photo, Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteI had not heard the Victor Borge quote before, but it's fantastic. And so is the Kafka/Pixie one :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Chinatown poem is great - and so are your photos and quotes.
ReplyDeleteThe ducklings are particularly adorable <3
Our actions (and also words, for example when blogging) can definitely resonate, dear Cloudia, and can make a difference, create a reverberation.
Please give Pixie some loving caresses from me, dear Cloudia :-)
All the best, Traude
