An Angel in Waikiki

A  L  O  H  A -

Let's walk in Waikiki

First Lady of Waikiki, 

The Moana Hotel

Doors opened 1901.

Kalakaua Avenue

Every day, new people

 from all around the globe

 walk our streets. . . 

This excellent street artist 

will produce your caricature 

for tips!

OOOPs!  Sorry, Sir. 

( "What do you think this is? A Daryl?!" tm )





Then I saw her.  

She stood apart from the normal run. . . 

                           . . . somehow. . . . 

 I never saw her face. . . .


              Only felt the benediction. . . .

" Do not forget 

to entertain strangers,

 for by so doing 

some people have 

entertained angels 

without knowing it. "

Hebrews 13:2 

 <(-'.'-)>

Thank YOU

 for being

an Angel

who visits,

who blesses,

me-

Secrets to the Wind

A  L  O  H  A !

" Stories happen

to those

who tell them. "


Thucydides

" For every complex problem

 simple,

 were telling secrets 

to the wind. "

Seeing the citizens of Massachusetts

applauding

their police officers

after the bombing suspect hunt

touched me very much. 

Police are human beings.

When they do not

live up the the badge

it is worse than sad.

When they do,

it is noble work.

We all benefit.

They deal with

the angry, the impaired,

people at their worst;

Do NOT be one of those.

Show patience,

do not make their job

more difficult.

No one wishes

to be corrected

but we all need

the peace that they 

enforce.

Smile

at a police officer

today!
