Street Faces

A   L   O   H   A  !

There are no 

bad pictures; that’s 

just how your face 

looks sometimes.

Abraham Lincoln

Don't laugh at 

a youth for 

his affectations; he 

is only trying on 

one face after another 

to find his own.

    Logan Pearsall Smith

We are all faced with 

a series of 

great opportunities 

brilliantly disguised as

impossible situations.

     Charles Swindoll 

You never find yourself 

until you face the truth.     

Pearl Bailey

There are some 

masters from whom 

you can learn 

good things.

Streets are one 

of those masters.

Mehmet Murat ildan

Find acquaintance 

with silence. 

Go inside, delve 

into your heart. 

Take a day off 

from the clamor.

Rumi

What we achieve 

inwardly will change 

outer reality.

Plutarch

Another fresh new year is here another year to live! to banish worry, doubt, and fear, to love and laugh and give!

Too many of us are not 

living our dreams because 

we are living our fears.

A farewell is necessary 

before we can meet again, 

and meeting again after moments 

or a lifetime is certain for 

those who are friends.

Dear world, 

I am excited to be alive in you, 

and I am thankful for another year.

Charlotte Eriksson

Happy trails to you, 

until we meet again. 

Some trails are happy ones, 

Others are blue. 

It's the way you ride 

the trail that counts,

Here's a happy one 

for you.

Back Streets of Honolulu

A  L  O  H  A !

Many of our Hawaii schools 
were named for US Presidents

during the Territorial period. Hawaii was an independent nation until 1898. 

King William Charles Lunalilo was the sixth monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii 

from January 8, 1873 until February 3, 1874 
Link, School Link

When you do a thing with your 

whole soul and everything that is 

noble within you, 

you always find your counterpart. 

      Camille Pissarro

Hatred is the coward's revenge 

for being intimidated.

         G.B. Shaw

Our visitors from all over the world

are themselves a vital part of

the local scene!

No Destination

A  L  O  H  A !

Constant Neighbor

Do not pursue what is illusory - 

property and position: all

that is gained at the expense of 

your nerves decade after decade 

and can be confiscated in one fell night. 

Live with a steady superiority over life - 

don't be afraid of misfortune, and 

do not yearn after happiness. . .

            Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

 Sidewalks more than 100 years old, King St. Honolulu

There's something about arriving in new cities,

 wandering empty streets with no destination.

I dare you to walk where you have not yet walked.

And I dare you to notice.

And that's the point.

Just walk. See.

There's a whole lot of world out there.

I dare you to see it.

When walking through the 'valley of shadows,' remember, a shadow is cast by a Light.

Not Everyone Sees It

A  L  O  H  A !

Consider a tree for a moment. 

As beautiful as trees are to look at, 

we don't see what goes on underground - 

as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots 

in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. 

But we don't see the roots. 

We just see and enjoy the beauty. 

In much the same way, what goes on 

inside of us is like the roots of a tree.

                       Joyce Meyer

Everything has beauty, 

but not everyone sees it.  

Confucius

That's what I was thinking,

before I took this shot

The only thing that ultimately matters

is to eat an ice-cream cone, 

play a slide trombone, plant a small tree, 

good God, now you're free. 

                   Ray Manzarek

The sparrow that is twittering 

on the edge of my balcony is 

calling up to me this moment a world 

of memories that reach over half my lifetime, 

and a world of hope that stretches farther 

than any flight of sparrows.

"The best way to convince 

a fool that he is wrong is to 

let him have his own way."

                       Josh Billings

"If you are patient in 

one moment of anger, 

you will escape one 

hundred days of sorrow."

 Chinese Proverb

“Some people are like thorns. 

But you have to let them be thorns, 

because thorns can't turn into petals. 

The trick is not letting them prick you;

 never let a thorn prick you!”
