What Matters: People

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U


Every day one should
at least hear one little song,
read one good poem,
see one fine painting and
-- if at all possible --
speak a few
sensible words.
Goethe




These single-wall Hawaii bungalows
are a beautiful aspect of our
local built environment. I love
these little Hale
("Hah - Lay" - Hawaiian word
for a house/home) Link




When storms descend 
and shadows fall,
We stand together, 
one and all

Hands joined tightly, 
hearts beat strong
Showing kindness 
is where we belong

Comfort flows 
like gentle light
Healing hearts, 
making futures bright

In darkness, 
we'll hold hope's true song
Helping those affected
To get along.
Pixie






There is always something 
to be grateful for, even 
when life is hard and 
times are tough.

P:ixie's poem is beautiful. Nearly as beautiful as she is.

Good read about that single wall houses. Only the problem building with wood becomes now painfully clear. Reason that around 1500 it was forbidden to build wooden houses inside the city walls in what are now the Netherlands.
