Tea Fragrance Room

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Life gives us more gifts in a day
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...
Cloudia Charters
Char Hung Sut means
Tea Fragrance Room
[smell of the tea-house]




Laughter is the shortest 
distance between two people.
              Victor Borge 



 '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!
Cloudia





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.
Franz Kafka
Me Too!

Another great sky shot.

The photo of this young lady certainly makes me wonder what she is thinking. Great words and photo, Cloudia.

I had not heard the Victor Borge quote before, but it's fantastic. And so is the Kafka/Pixie one :-)

Rostrose said...

The Chinatown poem is great - and so are your photos and quotes.
The 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
