To Do Good Is My Religion

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We must have the stubbornness
to accept our gladness in
the ruthless furnace
of this world.
      Jack Gilbert



Not a poem of begging,
but a sweeter song,
Of young troubadours,
where they don't belong.

A hat in hand
for coins to chime,
Busking dreams learning
One note at a time.
Pixie


The world is my country,
all mankind are my brethren,
 and to do good
is my religion.
Thomas Paine



The ideals which have
lighted my way, and time
after time have given me new courage
to face life cheerfully have been
kindness, beauty, and truth.
Albert Einstein

Underage Drinking
Your brain will be shrinking.
Glad nothing too tricking
About being a chicken!

These are feral chickens who live free around Honolulu. I like these fellows with the bold
stripes among their black & white siblings.
I call them "The Wild Ones"

    How I love Albert Einstein's ideals. Mine too. A work in progress.

    I've never seen hens with that colouring. The wild ones are very interesting.

    Those buskers look a bit sad, Cloudia. Love the chicken. ;-)

    To do good is a good religion.
    I think I'll make it mine, too.

    I'm with Pixie. I love that boy band, although it looks like they might still be learning to play their instruments. "The Wild Ones" is a great name for a boy band; maybe the feral chickens can teach those kids a thing or two ;)

    That's fascinating that there are feral chickens. Their chicks are cute. And those boys don't look too thrilled like their parents are making them pose. Grin. I hope you have a great T day.

    Kindness, beauty, and truth. Einstein was a wise man. Those darling "troubadours" made a great photo.

    Underage drinking. I've seen several teens who turned into alcoholics when they became adults. I do LOVE those feral chickens, though. That made a great shot for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia. Thanks for sharing.

    Cute buskers and even cuter Pixie. I just want to rub her tummy!
    Feral chickens? I have never seen those. I don’t think we have those in Spain. They have nice colouring/ pattern too.
    As always I love your quotes.
    Happy T-Day,
    Lisca

    Einstein's quote about beauty is fitting for the beautiful Pixie. Her eyes are so mesmerizing. Happy T Day

    Albert E. was brilliant. Love Pixie, but today the chickens win. How fun they run all around free. Something or someone would eat them here. We have tried to have them a few times but something ate them each time. So sad. Great post as always. Happy T-day and hugz
