Impressionistic Dawn, Honolulu

I want to be 

famous but 

unknown! 

              Edgar Degas

Anthuriums kissed

The sunlight claps the earth, 

and the moonbeams kiss the sea: 

what are all these kissings worth, 

if thou kiss not me?

                      Percy Bysshe Shelley

Treasure Blind

A  L  O  H  A !

 "There are joys that 

long to be ours. 

 God sends ten thousand truths, 

which come about us 

like birds seeking inlet; but 

we are shut up to them, 

- and so they 

bring us nothing, 

but sit and sing awhile 

upon the roof, 

then fly away."

                       Henry Ward Beecher

What Treasure

are YOU blind to?

Voyager Be

A  L  O  H  A !

"If I knew what the photograph 

was going to look like, 

I wouldn't bother taking it. 

It's the voyage of discovery 

that fascinates me."

               Lois Greenfield

Hawaiian Voyaging Canoes like this

have navigated around the globe!

"What was most significant 

about the lunar voyage 

was not that men set foot 

on the moon but that they 

set eye on the earth."

                 Norman Cousins

"Happy the man who, like Ulysses,

 has made a fine voyage, or 

has won the Golden Fleece, 

and then returns, experienced 

and knowledgeable, to spend 

the rest of his life 

among his family."

           Joachim du Bellay

Country Life

A  L  O  H  A !

"Throw your dreams into 

space like a kite, and 

you do not know what 

it will bring back, a 

new life, a new friend, a 

new love, a new country."

              Anais Nin

"Anybody can be good in the country. 

There are no temptations there."

Portion of that around me; and to me 

High mountains are a feeling. . ."

Waikiki is a packed human

zoo, on a tiny island, hours

away from anywhere else.

[just a BIT like the Star Wars Cantina]

Honolulu is a global pulse-point

where East & West meet.

Something's ALWAYS going on

on Oahu.

While San Francisco is

an international pulsepoint

all it's own, out here on the

rim of the Bay Area in 

Rural Marin county. . .

Well, it's a very different

life here.

I like it!

Provided I can get my

periodic dose of people

and place back home

in the islands.

Visits to San Francisco

are always exciting too,

especially driving across

the Golden Gate Bridge

And so it goes.

Life brings us 

New adventures.

And I say

Go For IT.

Fondly,
