In The Ordinary

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Night is purer than day;
it is better for thinking,
loving and dreaming.
At night everything is
more intense, more true.
The echo of words that have
been spoken during the day
takes on a new and
deeper meaning.
   Elie Wiesel



Kokiʻo Keʻokeʻo,
Hibiscus arnottianus
Native to Moloka'i & O'ahu.

A wise one
changes their mind,
a fool never will.
Spanish Proverb



Lagerstroemia indica, crepe myrtle

Happiness is 
a place between 
too little and too much. 
   Finnish



Holiness comes wrapped
in the ordinary. There are
burning bushes all around you.
Every tree is full of angels.
Hidden beauty is waiting
in every crumb.
Macrina Wiederkehr



I don't regret the things
I haven't gotten, but
I do regret the things
I haven't given.
John Sarris

That Spanish proverb is very thought provoking.

The changing mind quote is so true. Me must open our mind, learn facts and evolve and adjust our thinking.

A day becomes ordinary only when we let it. Blessings, Cloudia!

I have thought that it is a good thing to be able to change one's mind. Many disagree.
