Hill Folk Say

A L O H A From Honolulu!


The sun, the earth, love, friends, our very breath are parts of the banquet. Rebecca H. Davis




Subdued Hues On a Cloudy Day
The breeze at dawn has
secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep. Rumi


Young Street [Back] Side

The unique Occidental Life Insurance Building in Honolulu, designed by Lemmon, Freeth & Haines, circa 1951. It’s a beautifully constructed early 1950s low-rise office building made from natural stone, concrete, aluminum and angled glass. Not surprisingly, though, the real attraction is the 1967 addition of a cantilevered airport control-like tower – used as a boardroom – that really sets this building apart from its contemporaries.

Seen Around This Blog! "

To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty, and in the same field, it beholds, every hour, a picture which was never seen before, and which shall never be seen again. Ralph Waldo Emerson




Live a good, honorable life.
Then when you get older
and think back, you’ll
enjoy it a second time.
Live simply. Love generously.
Care deeply. Speak kindly

Relish

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We're all traveling 
through time together, 
every day of our lives. 
All we can do 
is do our best to relish 
this remarkable ride

This child has found
two friends:
traffic cones!



I arise in the morning
 torn between a desire
 to improve the world 
and a desire to 
enjoy the world. 
This makes it hard 
to plan the day.

Passing of Ages



ALOHA,

Cloudia & Pixie 

Please enjoy today's post if you wish:

Like Flowers

 Aloha from Honolulu!
Smiles are
the soul's
party dresses.





Smile,
your soul is watching
              Allan Rufus







Stepping outside. I set my face for the day. I let the love come out of my heart and soften my face. Relax jaw. Smile eyes. Smiling at people changes the weather for everyone. Having a pleasant look on your face affects even people you don't notice or who don't notice you. Yes, smile at people and even people who don't notice will be smiled upon. And this is a real thing with real effects. Smile. Even if you miss an opportunity, your intention changes things. And you will notice sooner next time. God is blessing every creature every minute, or they would not exist for another second. When we bless others and care about them, we are aligning ourselves with Good. We are joining the winning side. Heaven does not need our prayers.
We do. Smile, witness and bless.


She sprouted love like flowers
grew a garden in her mind and
even on the darkest days
from her smile the
sun still shined.

Out Of Every Dark Mist

A L O H A From Honolulu!


 Walk on a rainbow trail; walk on a trail of song, and all about you
will be beauty. There is a way out
of every dark mist, over a rainbow trail. Andra Davis




I hear the wind among the trees
Playing the celestial symphonies;
I see the branches downward bent,
Like keys of some great instrument.
 Henry Wadsworth Longfellow




When one is willing and able the gods join in. Aeschylus



Be to her virtues very kind, Be to her faults a little blind. Matthew Prior

Which Once Existed

A L O H A From Honolulu!

There are so many people...
that are not making it to
the age where their hair
starts to gray. And so
when I see my gray hair,
it actually is a blessing because
it means that, yes, I'm getting
older and I'm still here. Tia Mowry 


Wandering re-establishes
the original harmony
which once existed between
human and universe.
Anatole France



We all struggle at times
and when you see somebody struggling, you think, ‘Gee, that guy is being a jerk. Well, sometimes you’re that jerk. Dwight Lambert
Cease striving. 
Then there will 
be transformation.
           Zhuangzi






A child of five
would understand this. Send someone to fetch
a child of five. Groucho Marx

A L O H A From Honolulu!

time feel worth existing Munia Khan



Wild Chickens of Oahu
There are more chickens
in the world than any
other kind of bird.
Rachel Smith





Recent discoveries have confirmed one of the other suggestions made since the 1920's, that chicken were brought across the Pacific, island by island, by Polynesians, in
ancient times.

David Scrivener

Clothes make the man.
Naked people have little
or no influence on society.
Mark Twain






It is as though the fabric
were indeed a natural
extension of the body,
or even of the soul. Quentin Bell




What you wear is how you
present yourself to the world,
especially today, when human
contacts are so quick.
Fashion is instant language. Miuccia Prada



Life is mostly froth and bubble,
Two things stand like stone.
Kindness in another's trouble,
Courage in your own.
