 EVEN A DROP OF WATER GOES TO THE SEA

at lunch time, when  office people are eager to step out and relax, a 45-year old man, who look likes poor -as poverty is  not uncommon in the surroundings- used to sit quietly, with a sunny face and a few dreads.  Busying himself by watching passersby, Toni is a kind of guy who is pleased to make a living by doing what he is   fond of.   A native of Waikiki, a Hawaii Island, Toni doesn’t really want to sell, but writes in Spanish: Lo que Ud desear dar,  as a small table displays his creations.

Sounding humble and  merciful, these words attract and make people pay attention to Toni and his business. Making artifacts with leaves  and palms , Toni continues to answer questions even when he is given  a few  dollars for his sales.  One last Friday, Toni delights at talking about his dreams.

“I hope, one day, to have a boat and  go to the high seas to sale my products’. Those consist of birds, cross, insects, boats, and  other gadgets…-Tony is not a sailor, but an artist, according to what he is doing-  However, Toni who lives nearby sticks to his project, which is no longer a dream. He wants to anchor everywhere with his boats and brings a message of peace and love with his creations. Apparently, they seem a waste of time, but artists always have another dimension of time.

 Small dreams always feed big projects.

At parting Toni continues shyly  to radiate peace and passion for his far away  sailing goal.
