Everyone has seen Diamond Head,

but it is the little side streets,

the neighborhood apartments

of Waikiki that I love - 

- And the

tropic light through

leaves in a small garden.

Yes, Karen, It's important

to reconnect with places we

have lived and loved.

Thank YOU

Friend!

The Korean Temple


The top peak was above city regulations
and neighbors demanded that it be "trimmed."
See the flat place?


"Five enemies of peace inhabit with us -

avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride;

if these were to be banished,

we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace."

Petrarch

Looking back into Diamond Head
as we drive out of the Valley.


"Most of American life consists of driving somewhere

and then returning home,

wondering why the hell you went."



John Updike
