Life wouldn't be

worth a thing

if we didn't have

the blues

from time to time.

Blue

in high relief

-sets it off nice-

so

Don't Let the Sun

Catch You Crying!

We're gonna

get through

Watching Hawaii Skies

A  L  O  H  A !

Early Morning Oct 22, 2014 Western Sky

"Look deep into nature, 

and you will understand 

everything better." 

                                Albert Einstein

 " -as men do a-land; 

the great ones eat up the little ones; 

I can compare our rich misers

to nothing so fitly 

as to a whale; 

a’ plays and tumbles,

 driving the poor fry before him, 

and at last 

devours them all 

at a mouthful. " 

                        Shakespeare 

                                                 Pericles  1608

I like the two angles 

[front and side view]

of his hand & face,

and the dialogue

between the two circles

big and small.

They seem happy.

 Robert Love, 

 baker and  native of Glasgow, 

Scotland, 

arrived in Honolulu

June 19,1851.

 On July 12 

the Ministry of the Interior, 

Kingdom of Hawaii,

 issued Robert 

  license  to operate a bakery.

" The entrepreneurial success 

of Love’s Bakery truly 

deserves to go to one woman, 

Fanny Johnson Love.

 After 

Robert Sr. passed away, 

Robert Jr. and his wife, Fanny, took

 over the business. At the age of 48, 

Fanny was widowed 

with 6 children 

and a heavily mortgaged bakery. 

For 32 years, Fanny ran 

Love’s Bakery enduring fire  

[The Great Chinatown Fire, Cloudia]  

plague,

 annexation [of the Hawaiian Kingdom], 

and the 

Republic [of Hawaii], with grace, dignity, 

and statesmanship. "

that how we choose to live 

with pain, or injustice, 

or death...

is the true measure 

of the Divine within us.”

yet enfolded in light.”

and therefore more powerful. 

That is what I believe in, Aouli.

 I believe in Hawai'i.

 I believe in the land."
