Kind of Nobility

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I'll lift you and you lift me, and we'll both ascend together. John Greenleaf Whittier  





Every second is of infinite value. 
     Goethe



Weary limbs a throne of tin
King uncrowned pride within
He rules this realm of thirst relief
Oasis of summer's brief reprieve.

The city hums a tireless beat
But here it's break time
Moment of peace
Wrinkled hands burdens borne.
Private smile, well spent morn.
      Cloudia Charters




In wine there is wisdom,
in beer there is freedom,
in water there is bacteria.
   Benjamin Franklin




 To be endowed with 
a generous mind,
 this is the best 
kind of nobility.
            Plato

  16. Sorry to be so late visiting. Both my arthritis and my lupus flared up last night.

    I really like the three ladies dressed alike. What a great photo. Pixie looked good on the rug, too. I really, really enjoyed the man with the various drinks, and I loved the Rainbow. Thanks for sharing these with us, as well as the drink reference, for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia.
