" Little, vicious minds
abound with anger and revenge,
and are incapable of feeling
the pleasure
 of forgiving their enemies. "

 nature

 makes the whole world

 kin. "
 

William Shakespeare, 

Troilus and Cressida

Walking along

I looked,

then looked again:

a tiny face

was looking back.

The world is full

of friends

if we only

notice them.

" There is no pessimism

 in the wild. "
  

Paul Winter

 Artifacts:

Leaf,

               Wing

see the ant?

" How strange and wonderful 

is our home, our earth, 

with its swirling vaporous atmosphere,

 its flowing and frozen liquids,

 its trembling plants,

 its creeping, crawling, climbing creatures,

 the croaking things 

 with wings

 that hang on rocks

 and soar through the fog, 

the furry grass, 

the scaly seas."

  Edward Abbey

 " If you don't believe

 that the world has a

 heart,
 then you won't hear it 

beating,
 you won't think

 it's alive. . . "

Local Boys

"Hawaii Local Boy"

Living in Hawaii

means riding my scooter

all year long.

Here is one of the 'perks.'

Spotted these two yesterday.

As a long-time 2-wheeler

I cringe at the bare feet.

As an animal lover. . . 

The dog does seem

 competent

and content.

I bet they surf together.

Worth another look,

am I right, ladies?

 Hawaii BORN & Raised

 guys
like our President

are something 

special!

 [ Dear blog-invisible husband: YOU are of course
a special category of ONE ] 

NO Place

like Hawaii,

my home

" Nature was

 here
 a series of

 wonders,
 and a fund of 

delight. "

 " Sometimes 

life's shadows

 are caused
 by our standing

 in our own

 sunshine. "

Ralph Waldo Emerson

 Our current animal companion(s)

seem wiser 

than all the rest,

when in fact

it is we

who have grown,

seeing more

of their great

nature.

"In a full heart

there is room

for everything. "

Aspire Content

A   L   O   H   A  !

“ I pretended to be

 somebody I wanted to be 

until finally

 I became that person. 

Or he became

 me. ”

 Cary Grant

“ We are not to make
contentment and aspiration

 quarrel,
 for God made them 

fast friends.
 A man may 

aspire,
and yet be quite

 content
until it is time

 to raise; 

Both flying

 and resting
are but parts

 of one
contentment. ”

 Henry Ward Beecher

" I would rather sit 

on a pumpkin
and have it all

 to myself
than be crowded
on a velvet cushion.  "

Henry David Thoreau

" One can acquire everything

 in solitude

 except character. "

Stendhal

Which is why

I appreciate
