Walking Waikiki Together

A  L  O  H  A    from   Honolulu!
" Relationships are 
never chance events. "
                             Keith Ablow











 " That awe, wonder and beauty 
promote healthier levels of
[ immune-boosting anti-inflammatory ]
cytokines suggests that
the things we do 
to experience these emotions

- taking a walk in nature,
losing oneself in music,
beholding art-

have a direct influence
upon health and 
life expectancy. "
                     Dacher Keltner,
                                    Reasearcher










" For a long time 
I have been of the opinion
 that artists don't necessarily
 know what they're doing. 
You don't necessarily know 
what kind of universal concept 
you're tapping into." 
                                  Leonard Nimoy

Finding Awe,
Ahhhh,
& beauty in our
sharing,
has a pro-health
effect
on us sharers.

Thanks for playing
Your special part!

The small, homely, neighborhood temples

This Chinese example is one of
my favorites, close to Waikiki.
