Cool Head Main Thing

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Boast of your strengths, 

and they become weaknesses. 

Become aware of your 

weaknesses, and 

they become strengths.

Enkō-ji Temple

         Kyoto, Japan




Everyone you will

ever meet knows

something

that you don't.

Bill Nye



Sumida Watercress Farm Link

Cool Head Main Thing.

Traditional Hawaii Wisdom











Happily, there is some remnant of

childhood in this jaded public.

It is this childhood we must reach.

It is the incredulous reserve of

the adults that we must overcome.

Jean Cocteau,

Beauty and the Beast: Diary of a Film






I am my own sanctuary

and I can be reborn

as many times as I choose

throughout my life.

Lady Gaga

Hiding Secret Girl

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Your smile.
is the ultimate
golden dream.
    Sanober Khan









We love the imperfect 

shapes in nature and 

in the works of art, look 

for an intentional error 

as a sign of the golden 

key and sincerity. . .

 Dejan Stojanovic













Sometimes the streets 

are so quiet that you don't 

want to move and 

break that silence; and 

you stand in a corner and 

listen to the silence 

in admiration!

 Mehmet Murat ildan










Where's Pixie?

A friend is a beloved mystery; 

dearest always because 

(s)he is not ourself, and 

has something inside

 which it is impossible 

for us to fathom. . . 

         Lucy Larcom

Even In The Thick

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Papaya

A basket of ripe fruit is 

holier than any prayer book. 

     Marty Rubin






Tabebuia aurea - Pay Phone still in Your Town?

Learning to ignore things is 

one of the great paths 

to inner peace.

        Robert J. Sawyer









All fruit grows 

through abiding, 

not striving. 

Bill Johnson







To bear trials with a calm mind 

robs misfortune of its 

strength and burden.

   Seneca





The measure of wisdom is 

how calm you are when 

facing any given situation.

          Naval Ravikant




ᰇᰇᰇᰇᰇᰇᰇᰇᰇᰗ

Life and the world
are an arena of
activity.

Complete resolution
of everything
is not meant to be
for now.

But resolution and rest
can be yours
even in the thick of it.

Minute to minute,
walk in peace.

Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia

Note: The outdoor cat above may well be Pixie's cousin, as Islands are insular, and cats are prime colonizers. Cute ones, but tell that to the indigenous birds! Hawaii has no wild turkeys. Even before the cats got here!

Freshly

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

A fresh mind keeps 

the body fresh. 

Take in the ideas of the day, 

drain off those of yesterday. 

As to the morrow, time enough 

to consider it when 

it becomes today. 

    Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton














This is the first,

the wildest and the wisest

thing I know: that the

soul exists and is built

entirely out of attentiveness.

Mary Oliver













Humility is really important 

because it keeps you 

fresh and new.

        Steven Tyler



















One new feature 

or fresh take can 

change everything. 

Neil Young
