Proud

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Every path,

every street in the world is your

walking meditation path.

Candid shot on the fly. 

I never want to make anyone uncomfortable,

though anything/anyone visible to the

public is legally fair game for a photo.

So I am expert at swinging

around like a tourist appearing to 

take random shots, 

grabbing a snap on the fly. . . 

occasionally yielding:

A Photograph. 

VERY Proud of this young man.

Son of my good friends - Ohana really -

Genshu Price.

Dad Mike suggested that G collect deposit bottles

and cans to help fund his college. (G is 13) 

Well, Genshu took it to the extreme the way energetic, smart, young people do when supported. 

Bottles4College is a 501-c 

Nonprofit that has partners at schools,

markets, and restaurants around our island!

Mom Maria Price (a WONDERFUL friend and

incidentally EXCELLENT Oahu Realtor)

took this photo on Friday Oct 1

by the Queen Liliuokalani statue

at Hawaii's State Capitol after

Genshu was recognized with an

award by the legislature! 

Follow your path, 

and let the people talk.

Pixie, get the dust buster!

Be proud of every scar

on your heart,

each one holds a

lifetime's worth of lessons.

How Deep You Gotta Go?

A  L  O  H  A !

Get lost in love, and 

hate won’t find you.

I am serious as a 

heart attack about NOT 

being too serious!

We all have a core of 

basic Human goodness. 

The question is how deep 

you have to go to find it.

know them at all,

Scene From a Coffeehouse

A  L  O  H  A   from  San Francisco

"Old friends.

Winter companions,

The old men

Lost in their overcoats,

Waiting for the sunset.

The sounds of the city,

Sifting through trees,

Settle like dust

On the shoulders

Of the old friends."

Paul Simon,

'Old Friends'

Calico Sky

" Calico Pie,
The little Birds fly 
Down to the calico tree,
Their wings were blue,
And they sang "Tilly-loo!"
Till away they flew--
And they never came back to me! "

of this life are
