Light Smile

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Oh, the summer night, Has a smile of light, And she sits on a sapphire throne. Barry Cornwall


The most dangerous
form of blindness is
believing your perspective
is the only reality.
Nietzsche


Some believe it is
only great power that
can hold evil in check,
but that is not what
I have found. It is the
small everyday deeds of
ordinary folk that keep the
darkness at bay. Small acts
of kindness and love. Tolkien, The Hobbit


It is by believing in roses that one brings them to bloom. French Proverb




The key to finding
happiness in this life
is realizing that the only
way to overcome is to
transcend; to find happiness
in the simple pleasures,
to master the art
of just being.
Brianna Wiest

I am all for small acts of kindness. It's wonderful that we see it so often in Hawaii. Have a great week, Cloudia. Fingers crossed the heavy rains are over.

Even Mr. Gecko is smiling, and Pixie is being shy about smiling. Love the Dr. Pepper sign. Linda in Kansas
