Dance Of The Palm Trees

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Your character is
your guardian divinity. Heraclitus


Nu'uanu Stream *
What a joy it is to feel the soft,
springy earth under my feet
once more, to follow grassy roads
that lead to ferny brooks where I
can bathe my fingers in a cataract
of rippling notes, or to clamber
over a stone wall into green
fields that tumble and roll
and climb in riotous gladness!
Helen Keller


Royal Poinciana
There's nothing so kingly
as kindness, and
nothing so royal
as truth
Alice Cary,
'Nobility'




The dance of the palm trees,
the oceans calling,
the first rays of sun,
and heaven is here.
Michael Dolan

The coconut trees,
lithe and graceful,
crowd the beach like a minuet
of slender elderly virgins
adopting flippant poses. William Manchester


We may not be their favorite,
but we are their blessing.




I have a thing about angels.
I believe in them.
I feel like I have
a guardian angel.
I think everybody has one.
  Sheryl Lee

Pixie Town

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Be my lobster:
never let me go.
Sarah Ford


When life gives you lemons,
order the lobster tail.
Ziad K. Abdelnour



I write to create red in
a world that often appears
black and white.

Terry Tempest Williams




And I serve the Fairy Queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green;
Shakespeare



These are often referred to
as “spirit orbs” or “angel orbs”
and are thought to be
the souls of people. When these orbs
are captured on camera, it is believed to be
sign that those in the photograph are
protected by angels, and
blessed with goodness
and positive energy.
Many believe that
when orbs appear in
particular locations, it’s a sign
that angels are close by
and the location is blessed.
BeliefNet





She was a pixie, a
fairy, full of imagination
and in another world. Jean Nathan

Love doesn't just stop, Pixie.
It's always there. Chelsea Fine

Extend Automatic

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Honolulu 7:11 pm
The more you extend
kindness to yourself, the
more it will become your
automatic response to others.
Wayne Dyer




Flanked By Red
To wear red is to be the fire
in the midst of the crowd.

When people look at my pictures
I want them to feel the way
they do when they want to read
a line of a poem twice.

Smart people are gracious.
Gracious people are smart. They have the confidence
and skills to communicate
without being mean or loud.

 "Honolulu  T.H." 
[US] Territory of Hawaii *
Pre: 1959








The Territory of Hawaii was an organized incorporated territory of the United States that existed from April 30, 1900, until August 21, 1959. The territory was made up of eight islands that covered over 6,400 square miles.
The territory became the 50th state in August, 1959, following a referendum in which more than 93% of the voters approved the proposition that the territory should be admitted as a state.
Hawaii had been a sovereign constitutional monarchy until 1893, when the last Queen, Lili'uokalani, was deposed by a group of American sugar planters and missionaries, with the support of the US marines. Hawaii was an independent republic from 1894 until August 12, 1898, when it officially became a U.S. territory.
