Crane Story

Hawaii Skies

" Do not blame God 
for having created 
the tiger, 
but thank Him
for not 
having given it 
wings. "


Indian Proverb

 Honolulu Skies Sprout Reaching Cranes

" Each of us 
is carving a stone, 
erecting a column, 
or cutting a piece of 
stained glass 
in the construction of 
something much bigger 
than ourselves. "

Adrienne Clarkson

" If people only knew 
how hard I work
 to gain 
my mastery,
 it wouldn't seem 
so wonderful
 at all. "

 Michelangelo Buonarroti

Click on this shot - 
I love how casual the man in red looks

" The most powerful force 
ever known 
on this planet is
 human cooperation - 
a force for 
construction 
and destruction. "

Jonathan Haidt

Veterans of the Culture Wars

A    L    O    H    A  !

" But 
there’s nothing wrong 
with old age 
that a curious mind, 
an 
active life and 
a glass of wine 
with a friend 
cannot cure. "

These people suffered

 for being different 

in a way that people today 

cannot comprehend.

The culture they grew up in

called them sick, evil,

& worse. 

Most were 

estranged from

(or unknown to)

 their families.

They showed 
real courage

standing up 
for each other. 

They changed the way 

the world

looks at Diversity

and Human Rights. 
THIS generation
that we are talking about.

We all live the freedom 

that they won. 

They paid enormous

economic,

emotional,

& legal costs.

They nursed their

 closest friends

who died horribly

in the first nightmare years

of the AIDS Epidemic.

They wear no medals.
They draw no pensions.

But can't we see

that at least

they live with 

D I G N I T Y

that they have

 certainly earned

for others - 

for us?

" The trouble with the world

people know too little, 

but that they know 

so many things 

that ain't so. "

I have long 
suspected
that 
much I believe
is actually
just one way
of looking at it.

Being disillusioned
in a GOOD way
is hard to explain!

Thanks for hanging out
here a while, Friend

Lily Spring in the Bud

A    L    O    H    A  !

Tight in the Bud

" There is nothing stronger
 in the world 
than gentleness. "

Han Suyin

" Find the seed 
at the bottom of your heart 
and bring forth a flower. "

Shigenori Kameoka

" You cannot 
teach a man anything;
you can only help him 
find it within himself. "

Galileo

" There came a time 
when the risk
 to remain tight
 in the bud 
was more painful 
than the risk it took 
to blossom. "

Anaïs Nin

" Obstacles 
cannot crush me. 
Every obstacle 
yields to stern resolve. 
He who is 
fixed to a star 
does not change 
his mind. "


Leonardo DaVinci 
Notebooks (c. 1500)

People & Puppies
always mean well
their hearts are pure
even when they growl.

People & Puppies
only need love
to learn to Be With
instead of a shove.

People & Puppies
look into their eyes
some show joy,
 some pain, or
Well Being.
Life they've lived
is what you're seeing
longing for love,
resolution
and Healing.

When you look
in the eyes
of Puppies & People
Honor what you see there
make That
your Cathedral.
