"He who lives 

without folly 

isn't so wise 

as he 

thinks." 

                    Francois de La Rochefoucauld

" A pessimist sees 

only the dark side
 of the clouds, 

and mopes;

- a philosopher sees

 both sides,
 and shrugs;

-an optimist 

doesn't see

 the clouds at all - 

but is walking on them. "

June Among The Low Bushes - Waikiki

A   L   O   H   A !

" I walk without flinching

 through the burning cathedral 

of the summer. 

Banana Leaves - 

[A Giant Species of Grass]

- My bank of wild grass

 is majestic 

and full of music. -

- It is a fire 

that solitude presses

 against my lips. "

                                     Mad in Pursuit

" It is in

 the treatment of trifles

that a person shows 

what they are. "
