A L O H A From Honolulu!

If growing up means it would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree, I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me! J.M. Barrie

Sometimes falling flat on

your face allows you to

see things from a totally

different perspective. Linda Poindexter

We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public. Bryan White

You don’t need to be

the tide to rise and fall, you don’t have to be a wave to touch the shore; just be a little sand-grain and feel them all Munia Khan

In It As The Butterfly

A L O H A From Honolulu!

It is eternity now.

I am in the midst of it.

It is about me in the sunshine;

I am in it as the butterfly

in the light-laden air.

Nothing has to come;

it is now. Now

is eternity; now is

the immortal life. Richard Jefferies

The art of art,

the glory of expression

 and the sunshine of the

light of letters

is simplicity.     

 Walt Whitman

Collaboration is the

opposite

of capitulation

The soul must uphold itself

like the sun. Let us

labour to make the heart

grow larger as we become older,

as the spreading oak

gives more shelter. Richard Jefferies

Kitty Dreams of Wealth & Baseball

A L O H A From Honolulu

Click on Photo to attend Waikiki Beach

She turned to the sunlight

And shook her yellow head,

And whispered to her neighbor: “Winter is dead."

A. A. Milne

Magic lies in between things,

between the day and the night,

between yellow and blue,

between any two things.

Charles de Lint

This one is full on YELLOW!

as is:

Honolulu Fire Dept Founded by a King 1850 Link

Second Captain was Alexander Cartwight,

inventor of modern baseball Link

who is buried in Honolulu. People leave

baseballs on his grave and ceremonies

are observed there by fans & (MLB) luminaries

including Babe Ruth in 1934.

How lovely yellow is! 

It stands for the sun.

 Vincent Van Gogh

I really just want to be

warm yellow light

that pours over

everyone I love.

  Conor Oberst

Gold! gold! gold! gold!

Bright and yellow,

hard and cold!

Honolulu 1908

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Never forget that

feeling fantastic is a

massive magnet for

summoning more magic.

  Curtis Tyrone Jones

In 1907, Honolulu High School

was renamed for President William McKinley.

And in 1908 the school was moved to this 

new building facing Thomas Square.

Upon completion of a newer

(and current) facility

further towards Diamond Head on King St,

McKinley HS moved there in 1923.

This building became

Linekona Elementary School.

Linekona is Hawaiian For "Lincoln"

These were Territorial days, and the 

US Territorial government & resident

Americans solidified their cultural and

political connections to the USA.

This is an example of

Romanesque architecture,

Colonial Revival architecture,

Romanesque Revival architecture.

Interestingly, the apparent stone

face is actually cunningly worked

cement!

I waved to you outside

but then I realized it

Not Embarrassed to Say

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The ideals which have

always

shone before me and

filled me with joy are

goodness, beauty, and

truth.

Albert Einstein

New ideas are sometimes 

found in the most 

granular details of a problem 

where few others bother to look. 

             Nate Silver

I went to an outdoor 

restaurant for  lunch.

Total disaster. 

Poured with rain. 

Took me 2 hours to 

finish my soup!

Excelsior  “Ever upward!”

Chick & Mother

Be as a bird perched

on a frail branch that she

feels bending beneath her,

still she sings away

all the same, knowing

she has wings.

Victor Hugo

The satisfactions

of agreement are

immediate as sugar

a melting of the

granular, a syrup

that lingers, shared

not singular.

Many prefer it.

Saturday Critters I’d Rather Be Birding

Any Fool Can

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Small emotions are the 

great captains of 

our  lives. 

van Gough

Youth always tries 

to fill the void, 

an old one learns 

to live with it.     

                                   Mark Z. Danielewski

The Creator made humans 

able to walk and talk, 

to see and hear ... to 

do everything. 

But the Creator 

wasn't satisfied. 

- Finally the Creator 

made humans laugh, 

and when they laughed 

and laughed, the 

Creator said, 

"Now you are fit to live."

Traditional Apache Story

Any fool can criticize, 

condemn and complain 

and most fools do. 

Benjamin Franklin
