The Grand Show

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The grand show is eternal.
It is always sunrise somewhere;
the dew is never dried all at once;
a shower is forever falling;
vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise,
eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea
and continents and islands,
each in its turn, as
the round earth rolls.
John Muir



I was coming to realize
 that the real magician 
was light itself. 
 Edward Steichen 




Religion is at its best when
it makes us ask hard
questions of ourselves.
It is at its worst when it
deludes us into thinking
we have all the answers
for everybody else.
    Archibald Macleish








Happiness is a process.
Not an unwavering
state of rest

    I like the quote by Macleish. I also like your new slightly stark header.

    Thank you for the happy music. I remember it well. When my dad bought a stereo record player, he went to a large store where they had a room to try out the stereo (a new thing back then). The record they played was a Bert Kaempfert album. It didn't have this track on it, It was an earlier album. But Bert Kaempfert music brings back memories.
    I love the quotes. All of them. All very true.
    Have a lovely weekend,
    Hugs,
    Lisca

    Even when we are unhappy, we can have deep joy in the promises of the Lord. Loved seeing Pixie on the cloud, Cloudia. Blessings!

    Lovely lilies, I know they must smell delightful as well. Pixie on a cloud? Mmm, I think I prefer her on the floor looking at you in her second photo today.

    Great street photo, and I could not agree with E. Steichen more. It is all about light.
