Presidents and Hobos


A  L  O  H  A !




" The soul knows 

what to do 

to heal itself. 

The challenge is 

to silence the mind. "

Caroline Myss






Kia Ora, (Hello / Aloha) Maori Man



" I just want to go through 

Central Park

 and watch folks passing by. 

Spend the whole day 

watching people.

 I miss that. "

President, Barack Obama

(Of course, Waikiki is where he honed

his people watching.

His grandpa brought him 

to the beach often. 

My mom saw Senator Obama 

walking unrecognized 

in Waikiki before he 

decided to run for President. . . . )










" I know the police cause you trouble 

They cause trouble everywhere 

But when you die and go to heaven 

You find no policeman there ” 

― Woody Guthrie
Hobos Lullaby






















“ And above all,

 watch with glittering eyes 

the whole world around you

 because the greatest secrets

are always hidden

 in the most unlikely places.

 Those who 

don't believe 


in magic 



will never find it. ”

                    Roald Dahl







Thanks my Friend!

This site welcomes you

gratefully

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-

Heavenly Message
