Through A Haze

A  L  O  H  A !

 "In your soul are 

infinitely precious things that 

cannot be taken from you."

           Oscar Wilde

"The sweetest of all 

sounds is praise."

            Xenophon

"Fear is like a giant fog. 

It sits on your brain 

and blocks everything. 

Real feeling, true 

happiness, real joy, they 

can't get through that fog. 

But you lift it and buddy you're 

in for the ride of your life."

Morning Fog Creeps In

“Fall in love

with the energy

of the mornings -

" -trace your fingers 

along the lull

of the afternoons -

" -take the spirit 

of the evenings

in your arms

kiss it deeply 

and then

make love

to the tranquility

of the nights.”

Tin How Temple

A  L  O  H  A !

 “Travel makes one modest. 

You see what a tiny 

place you occupy 

in the world.” 

      Gustave Flaubert

Into busy, crowded, 
jumbled, historic, 
San Francisco Chinatown!
As mysterious as a 
pyramid tower disappearing 
into the fog. . . looking for
the Taoist temple. . . Tien Hau

1910 - The 'New' Building

"Right place, but this does NOT

look like a temple." You might say.

But long years enjoying Honolulu's

Chinatown have taught me:

Look at the little door at the 

side!

I know there will be a LONG walk

up many stairs, to the temple itself

on the top floor. Here we see

European tourists ready to leave.

I was up there: Top Floor.

Oh the art I saw

and could not 

photograph!

You can read more about

the oldest Chinese Temple

in America  Here.

Though some Honolulu

temples might be older,

they were founded in the

Kingdom Of Hawaii,

NOT America. So I

concede the honorific

with respects

to each place:

My former longtime home

and my becoming

New One.

Every Hour A Picture

Coastal Fog Cresting Marin Hills

“To the attentive eye, each 

moment of the year has 

its own beauty, and in 

the same field, it beholds, 

every hour, a picture which 

was never seen before, 

and which shall never 

be seen again”

  Ralph Waldo Emerson

"All real education

is the architecture 

of the soul."

      William Bennett

“I’m the best. 

My prices are firm. 

If you’re looking for a 

bargain, hire someone else. 

Plenty of people will accept 

what you’re offering. But 

remember, you get 

what you pay for.”
