Relevant In Kind Tones


  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

If you see the world
in black and white,
you're missing important
grey matter.
Jack Fyock



Bihai Heliconia

Most of the shadows
of this life are caused
by our standing in
one's own sunshine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson



The need to be right
is the sign of
a vulgar mind.
Albert Camus



Cordyline fruticosa,
a flowering evergreen
in the family Asparagaceae.
Common names: ti plant,
palm lily, and
cabbage palm.

I make the most
of all that comes
and the least
of all that goes.

Staying relevant and 

speaking in kind tones is by far, 

the best way to make your point. 

The moment you lose track, 

throwing out a negative comment 

you’ve lost your way. . .

Pixie looks like she's reminding us to speak in kind tones, or else! Love the stone lion, too.

Sending aloha straight back to Honolulu, plus extra pets for Pixie! Reading those wise words from Emerson paired with that stunning Bihai Heliconia makes for a gorgeous Friday post. Keeping things steady in kind tones proves harder some days, yet Ron Baratono's quote nails why it matters. Hope you both enjoy a wonderful weekend.
