The Beautiful and Good

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

We shall find peace.
We shall hear angels,
we shall see the sky
sparkling with diamonds. Anton Pavlovich Chekhov


With age comes wisdom, 
but also the awareness 
of how little we know.
  Anonymous





Youth is a gift of nature, 
but age is a work of art.
  Stanislaw Jerzy Lec







Life doesn't always
get better.
But you do. 
You get stronger.
You get wiser. You get softer.
With tattered wings you rise. 
And the world watches 
in wonder at the breathless 
beauty of a human 
who survived life.
L.R. Knost




Every year of my life 
I grow more convinced
that it is wisest and best
to fix our attention 
on the beautiful and
good, and dwell as
little as possible on 
               the dark and the base.          
        Richard Cecil

Yes

With age comes wisdom,
but also the awareness
of how little we know.

Do our wings get tattered by flying in a sky filled with diamonds??? Does our guru Pixie know? Great post with gorgeous pictures and marvelous quotes. I couldn't help but wonder if Elton John (or probably Bernie Taupin) knew that quote from Chekhov when they wrote Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
