Tribute Of Ridicule

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Catch on fire 
with enthusiasm and 
people will come for miles 
to watch you burn.     
John Wesley






The birds, 
the moon and the clouds
have an important mission:
To make humankind turn
our eyes towards the skies!
And so leave our own
little local world and focus
on something bigger,
the universe!
Mehmet Murat ildan





Dietes grandiflora
commonly known as the 
Large Wild Iris or African Iris. 






Who has seen the rising
moon break out of
the clouds at midnight
has been present
like an archangel at
the creation of light
and of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
(1803–1882)



I know and share
the many sorrows a
human being can experience,
but I do not cling to them;
they pass through me,
like life itself,
as a broad eternal stream...
and life continues...
Etty Hillesum

Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia




Ridicule is the tribute 
paid to the genius by 
the mediocrities.
Oscar Wilde

I wish it were that easy to let go of sorrows. Sigh... Hello again, Cloudia. I'm slowly coming out of hibernation.

...and there are plenty of mediocrities to go around.

Having a cat, Pixie, with the Hillesum quote is rather appropriate.
