Instead Of A Gem

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Smiling makes you beautiful

if you are beautiful,
it, makes you brilliant.
Ehsan Sehgal

When an elevator brings u upstairs,

you better send it back down

in order to bring others up!

Dikembe Mutombo

Moon! Moon! I am prone before you. Pity me, and

drench me in loneliness. Amy Lowell

Red Crested Cardinal

If, instead of a gem,

or even a flower, we should cast the gift

of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving

as the angels give George MacDonald

I think it’s in my basement…
let me go upstairs
and check.
M. C. Escher

 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."

Evil is stupid. Lies are dumb.

Only love feels good

so create some.

No Longer an Amateur

A L O H A From Honolulu!

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

or moonlight creates a reflection,

refraction, diffraction or

interference under particular

circumstances. The most

common examples include

halos, rainbows, fogbows,

cloud iridescences (or irisation),

glories, Bishop's rings, coronas,

crepuscular rays, sun dogs,

light pillars, mirages, scintillations,

and green flashes. Wikipedia Link

Behavior is a mirror in which every one displays his own image. Goethe

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

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.

Gosh I haven't been

much of anywhere for

two years. Chinatown

Honolulu is my happy place!

Sidewalks well over a century old

The trick is to enjoy life.

Don’t wish away your days,

waiting for better ones ahead.

Something in the Aire

People have walked here under a

King, Republic, Territory,

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.

Frances Rodman

You don't drown

by falling in the water;

you drown by

staying there.
