Sweet Saturday Surreality

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I am forever chasing light.
Light turns the ordinary
into the magical.

Photograph the world as it is.
Nothing’s more interesting
than reality.

Once you reach deeper and

deeper into your reality,

you approach closer and

closer its surreal essence. *

Talismanist Giebra

My life is shaped by

the urgent need to wander

and observe, and my

camera is my passport.

Steve McCurry

Contentment is natural wealth. Socrates

The opinion of 10,000 people

is of no value if none of them

knows anything about the subject. Marcus Aurelius

The most important thing

is to enjoy your life

--to be happy--

it's all that matters. Audrey Hepburn

*  "Surreality is the quality of being bizarre and dreamlike. It can also mean having the disorienting, hallucinatory quality of a dream.

Surreal is often used to describe something that is not real or that seems too strange or fantastic to be true. It can also be used to describe something that is so extraordinary or unexpected that it seems to defy the laws of reality.

Surreal is neither negative nor positive. It can easily go either way."

Wise Little Alice

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Though my soul may

set in darkness, it

will rise in perfect light;

I have loved the stars too

fondly to be fearful

of the night. Sarah Williams

Zoomed - Not Close <3

Happiness is when

what you think, what you say,
and what you do
are in harmony!
Amanda Howe

In difficult times

only imagination can help

people get rid of sadness.
   Elsa Schiaparelli

 If you don't train your mind

to appreciate what is good,

you'll continue to look for

something better in the future,

even when things are great.

Cory Muscara

Do not let current trends &

uncertainty upset you.

Look around. Your day is

100% real & present.

Look outside. There is light,

there is air.

There will be tomorrow too.

Don't let trends & events disquiet you.

Because ultimately your quiet

is your life, is your well-being,

is your best face to the future.

And the pets need to be fed.

It was all very well to say "Drink me,"

but the wise little Alice was not

going to do that in a hurry.

"No, I'll look first," she said,

"and see whether it's marked

'poison' or not"

Significance Is Hiding

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Duck love is recognizable

in any language.

          Edmond Manning

The significance is hiding

in the insignificant.

           Appreciate everything.           

           Eckhart Tolle

What you do repeatedly

is who you are.

 Aristotle

A hair in the head is worth

two in the brush.

William Hazlitt

A duck walks into a pharmacy and says, "Do you have any chapstick?" When the pharmacist hands it to him, the duck replies, "Thanks, just put it

on my bill."

The More

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Be different. Be original.

Nobody will remember a

specific flower in a garden filled

with thousands of the

same yellow flower,

but they will remember

the one that managed to

change its color to purple.

Suzy Kassem

The pink pigeon is a species of pigeon

in the family Columbidae

endemic to Mauritius.

The pink pigeon nearly became

extinct in the 1970s and the 1990s

and is still very rare. It is the

only Mascarene pigeon that has

not gone extinct. Wikipedia

*(Google lens guess. More likely a look-alike)

The more I wonder,

the more I love.

Oh, grown-ups cannot understand,

And grown-ups never will,

How short the way to fairyland

Across the purple hill.

speak a great language.

Wisdom Lingers

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Ponder the difference

between a mindset

and a mind free

to unlock your power.

Beautify your inner dialogue.

Beautify your inner world

with love light

and compassion.

Life will be beautiful.

Amit Ray

This poem has been

called obscure.

I refuse to believe that

it is obscurer than pity,

violence, or suffering.

But being a poem,

not a lifetime, it

is more compressed.

  Dylan Thomas

There are 100 ways

to react to

spilled milk.

Your chance to

show love. Dr Margaret Aranda

Knowledge comes

but wisdom lingers. Alfred Lord Tennyson

It isn't what you have

or who you are, or

where you are or what

you are doing that makes

you happy or unhappy.

It is what you think about.

 Dale Carnegie

Green calm below,

blue quietness above.

  John Greenleaf Whittier

Wishing you the greatest

power of all,

which is to see love,

or a call for love,

in everything.

Dr Margaret Aranda

"Doing-O!"

This week BOTH ducks are drinking.

As are some of the

fish presumably.

I gotta shoot more HUMAN

drinking photos before next Tuesday!

It's funny how humans can

wrap their mind around

things and fit them into

their version of reality.

Humans see

what they want to see.
