I often think
that the night
is more alive
and more
richly colored
than the day.
Vincent van Gogh
The breeze at dawn
has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.
Rumi
Red Ti Cordyline and
Philippine ground orchids
I expand and live
in the warm day
like corn and melons.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A child of five would
understand this.
Send someone to
fetch a child of five!

First Hawaiian Bank,
Kalakaua Ave
(In storage - Bank Branch Closed)
The Hawaiians of old
discovered and inhabited
these islands
centuries ago,
While Europeans
hugged their coasts
lest they fall over
the world's edge.
The great double-hulled
sailing canoes
brought people,
animals, plants,
and culture to
Hawaii!
Thank you for a series of good advices
ReplyDeleteAnother great start to the week. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, I love your first sky shot. The plant is beautiful.
ReplyDeletePixie is always a favorite. Take care, enjoy your day and have a great week!
In that case, I wish you a very good day.
ReplyDeleteHi Pixie!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Emerson today! Plan to be out walking when it's a bit warmer and in the great sunshine. Love the mural, so glad it was preserved and hope it can be shown somewhere again!

ReplyDeleteThe first photo is beyond stunning!
ReplyDeleteYour 1st shot is fabulous, Cloudia. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAloha Cloudia, wow what a capture with your first photo, the words are perfect for it as well. It should be a postcard. Your quotes are just what I need today, you have a way of filling my life's needs. Be well dear friend, aloha and hugs.
ReplyDeleteYou live in a lovely spot. The history and culture is wonderful.
ReplyDeletePolynesian and Melanesian voyagers were indeed remarkable in the way that they colonized the Pacific by discovering almost every inhabitable island. Their way of navigating by the stars is far beyond our understanding — all we understand is a GPS!
