Paved With Candy

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Life is about not knowing,
having to change,
taking the moment and
making the best of it,
without knowing
what's going to happen next.
Gilda Radner

Thrashing Dragon

People who do not know
how to laugh are
always pompous and
self-conceited. William Makepeace Thackeray




There are dark shadows 
on the earth, but its 
lights are stronger 
in the contrast.
Charles Dickens





Enlightenment is 
intimacy
with all things.
Dogen







The weather is always 
changing and so are we. 
Our alterations of mood are 
for our own growth and good
Through happy and sad, through 
hopeful and despondent, 
we learn lessons impossible 
to learn any other way.
        Pixie

Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia



It was raining, a 
light steady rain. 
Ruthless neon on 
the wet streets 
like busted candy.
            Denis Johnson

    I was really happy to see the neon beer sign in Chinatown. It was perfect for T this week, too. Of course, I also loved the Tootsie Pop in the rain. Thanks for sharing these quotes and photos, dear Cloudia.
