We The Unknown Beans

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

 There have been as great souls
unknown to fame as any
of the most famous.
  Benjamin Franklin




If the world's a veil of tears,
Smile till rainbows span it.
    Lucy Larcom




 If you want to be a better
communicator, to be better at
influencing others, you have to
start with the heart. Connect to
their heart then talk to their mind. 
    Pete Vargas




If I take the writing deep enough,
something larger and greater
than myself will flash forth
and illuminate me, heal me. 
 Sandra Cisneros




In the pot of boiling water called life
we have three choices. We can
be like a carrot that goes in hard
and becomes soft, or like the egg
that goes in soft but becomes hard,
or we can be like the coffee bean
that changes the pot of boiling water.
Be the Coffee Bean! 
    Damon West

Communication is the key - but I have no wish to be an influencer.

Pixie is like, "Why are you going to put me in a pot of boiling water? I didn't do anything wrong...." Love the quotes today.

Cloudia said...

E.C. You are an organic influencer. You clearly do not seek it, but your authenticity draws so many people to your blog posts! I hope you won't mind if I am influenced by you.

Thank you T💠

If the world is a veil of tears,
Smile until rainbows cross it!
I really liked the quote,
basically an exhortation to smile!
I like smiles!
Have a nice day Cloudia!

I did like these quotes today, Cloudia. I wish that woman would take off her mask so we could see her smile. :)
