October Visitors

A L O H A From Honolulu!


 We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own. Ben Sweetland
 



In his face there came to be a
brooding peace that is seen
most often in the faces of the
very sorrowful or the very wise.
But still he wandered through
the streets of the town,
always silent and alone. Carson McCullers 









Having a parent that listens
creates a child who believes
their voice matters in this world. Rachel Macy Stafford



Aging is an extraordinary
process where you become
the person you always
should have been.
David Bowie

Pink Torch Ginger

Life is no brief candle to me.
 It is a sort of splendid torch
 which I have got a hold of 
for the moment,
 and I want to make it burn
 as brightly as possible
 before handing it on
to future generations.
 George Bernard Shaw 



Philippine Orchids

It's better to look back
on life and say,
"I can't believe I did that."
than to look back and say:
"I wish I did that."

Cloud Iridescence is a:

In atmospheric optics, a Photometeor
is a bright object or other optical
phenomenon appearing in the
Earth's atmosphere when sunlight

Growing up doesn't mean that
you are older than someone,
it means that you are
no longer an amateur.
Michael Bassey Johnson





There's such a lot of
different Annes in me.
I sometimes think that is
why I'm such a troublesome person.
If I was just the one Anne it
would be ever so much more
comfortable, but then it wouldn't
be half so interesting.
 L.M. Montgomery

Enjoy the View From This One

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Moonrise by Mike Prince

What do you do there,
moon, in the sky?
Tell me what you
do, silent moon.
When evening comes you
rise and go contemplating
wastelands; then you set.
Giacomo Leopardi



The mountains I have climbed can
seem the dark side of the moon
long forgotten.
It's good to reflect
on former accomplishments
from time to time.




Today another hill.
Take your time.
Enjoy the view
from this one.





Published works are
like fallen flowers,
but the expected new work is
like a calyx waiting to blossom.
   Cao Yu



Let us be grateful to people
who make us happy,
they are the charming
gardeners who make
our souls blossom.
     Marcel Proust

through hell
keep going

Don’t wish away your days,
waiting for better ones ahead.

WWII Marshal Law, US
State. Young me
walked here decades ago.
Now is my moment.
Again.

Back To Hawaii Nature. Here's a
ripening hand of bananas!

Just think how happy
you would be if you lost
everything you have right now,
and then got it back again.

Nothing Gained by Worry

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Angel Fish on the Reef
Greatness isn't achieved by worrying
what everyone thinks of you.
Don't look outside.
The praise, criticism, expectations;
it's all just noise. Look inside to
your heart and soul and do your thing.
Do it with love and create
greatness from the inside out. Jon Gordon

Thoughts are wonderful things,
that they can bring two people,
so far apart, into harmony and
understanding for even a little while.
    Ernie Pyle



Sing with your voices,
your hearts, your
lips and your lives.
 Augustine Of Hippo



If people sat outside and
looked at the stars each night, 
I'll bet they'd live
a lot differently.
  Bill Watterson


The mellow sweetness of
pumpkin pie off a prison spoon is
something you will never forget.
Mitchell Burgess


Never say 'no' to adventures.
Always say 'yes,'
otherwise you'll lead
a very dull life.
Ian Fleming
