Fresh Start

" Sunshine is delicious,

 rain is refreshing, 

wind braces us up, 

snow is exhilarating;

 there is really no such thing 

as bad weather,

 only different kinds 

of good weather. "

           John Ruskin

So Much Wonder

" We need a renaissance 

of wonder. 

We need to renew, 

in our hearts 

and in our souls, 

the deathless dream, 

the eternal poetry, 

the perennial 

sense that life  

is miracle and magic. "

E. Merrill Root 

Sparkling Promise

“The air was soft,

 the stars so fine, 

the promise of 

every cobbled alley 

so great that 

I thought I 

was in a dream.”

                    Jack Kerouac

 Sun Rising Behind Diamond Head

" We shall not cease 

from exploration,

 and the end of all 

our exploring 

will be to arrive 

where we started 

and know the place 

for the first time. "

                                T. S. Eliot

 When life gives you

 a hundred reasons 

to cry, 

show life that 

you have a 

thousand reasons 

to smile.

That mountain is Diamond Head 

from the side.

It is a view, a photo

 in Waikiki,

but a presence 

here in the neighborhoods.

I like it.

" Year's end 

is neither an end 

nor a beginning 

but a going on, 

with all 

the wisdom that 

experience can instill 

in us. "

The Dog is a Gentleman

A L O H A !

"  The dog 

is a gentleman;

 I hope to go to 

his heaven, 

not man's. "

                   Mark Twain

" Think like a wise man 

but communicate 

in the language of 

the people."

[  This photo was intended to show
the giant cement 'root ball' of a streetlight
soon to be 'planted.' It's the cement block
up to her shoulder. The woman
was shielding her face from the sun
when she walked into my shot.
I know it looks like she is avoiding
the photo. . . but now you know
the story :) ]

I believe 

your future is
