The Earth Laughs in Flowers *

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A garden to walk in 

and immensity to dream in-

-what more could he ask? 

A few flowers at his feet 

and above him the stars.

     Victor Hugo

Tropical Hibiscus - Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 

'Stolen Kiss'

Let  us dance in the sun, 

wearing wild flowers 

in our hair.

 Susan Polis Schutz

Royal poinciana-  Delonix regia 

She wore flowers 

in her hair and carried 

magic secrets 

in her eyes.

Doubt your doubts before 

you doubt yourself.

Allamanda schottii - Bush allamanda

The violets in the mountains 

have broken the rocks.

   Tennessee Williams

Cirrus clouds - wispy, feathery ice crystals

Sometimes,

an exotic journey of discovery

begins and ends

right on your own

street.

Felis catus

I will be the gladdest thing 

under the sun! 

I will touch a hundred flowers 

and not pick one.

A L O H A From Honolulu!

"ALL About Me!"

True friendship comes 

when the silence 

between two people

is comfortable.

David Tyson

There’s not a word yet 

for old friends 

who’ve just met.

Jim Henson

Lagerstroemia indica,  crape myrtle 

A single rose 

can be my garden… 

a single friend, 

my world.

 Leo Buscaglia

You can make more friends 

in two months by becoming 

interested in other people 

than you can in two years 

by trying to get other people 

interested in you.

Dale Carnegie

How many slams 

in an old screen door? 

Depends how loud you shut it. 

How many slices in a bread? 

Depends how thin you cut it. 

How much good inside a day? 

Depends how good 

you live ’em. 

How much love 

inside a friend? 

Depends how much 

you give ’em.

But I'm slop-timistic!

Ideas become reality.

Once you hit that reality,

you get a new idea.

it's a virtuous

upward spiral.

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

In everyone's life, 

at some time, our 

inner fire goes out. 

It is then burst into flame 

by an encounter with 

another human being. 

We should all be thankful 

for those people who 

rekindle the inner spirit.

Albert Schweitzer

My life is my argument.

 Albert Schweitzer

We cannot possibly let 

ourselves get frozen into 

regarding everyone 

we do not know as 

an absolute stranger.

A leader is one 

who knows the way, 

goes the way, and

Benefactor Morning Walk

A L O H A From Honolulu!

What Oh What Shall I See
Walking This Morning
In Waikiki?

The secret of genius is 

to carry the spirit of 

the child into old age, 

which means never 

losing your enthusiasm. 

     Aldous Huxley

"Walk (Sign) Among Rainbows"

A photographer is an acrobat 

treading the high wire 

of chance, trying to 

capture shooting stars.

                          Guy Le Querrec

Tree Behind Tree

The good are befriended 

even by weakness and defect.

As no one ever had a 

point of pride that was 

not injurious to him, 

so no one had ever a 

defect that was not 

somewhere made 

useful to him. 

Our strength grows 

out of our weakness. 

A great one is always 

willing to be little.

Punished, tormented, 

defeated, we have 

a chance to learn 

something. 

Every evil to which we 

do not succumb

is a benefactor.

Emerson

A gentle hand 

may lead even 

an elephant 

by a hair.
