These The Patient Understands

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Have patience with

all things, but chiefly

have patience with yourself.

- every day begin

the task anew.

Francis de Sales

The great person

is the one who does not lose the heart of a child. Mencius

I get up every morning and
it's going to be a great day.
You never know when
it's going to be over so
I refuse to have a bad day.
Paul Henderson

Put yourself in his place . . . 
The kindly word, 

the cheerful greeting, 
the sympathetic look -- 
these the patient understands.

A life without stories
would be no life at all.
And stories bound us
did they not: one to another,
the living to the dead,
people to animals,
people to the land.
Alexander McCall Smith

Practical Simple

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

There is only one success-
-to be able to spend your life
in your own way.
Christopher Morley

We must not allow the 

clock and the calendar to 

blind us to the fact that 

each moment of life is 

a miracle and mystery.

             H. G. Wells

Giving love to others

and not expecting it back

is also a form of self-love.

What is possible? 

The practical, simple and kind. 

We work, love and help others 

as best we can, gawk at nature, 

rest. Is that it? Pretty much...

age teaches us that kind, simple and practical are enough, 

even in the face of the worst.

Chrome Sang The Sky

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

The red ball hangs—

a heartbeat paused

between laughter

and splash;

Having fun just because.

Memory Blue
Chrome sang the sky 

Youth was the road, 

How we did fly!

Wind in our hair, 

hearts without care.
Our world rolled true,

painted in blue.

I know this flower 

has lighted me

Nearer to Beauty’s 

mystery.

Clark Ashton Smith

If you paint in your mind

 a picture of bright

and happy expectations, 

you put yourself 

into a condition 

conducive to your

goal.

Who is contented

is rich.

Dessert Is Served: One Sweet Moon And A Cookie

 Love 

is the great 

miracle cure. 

Loving ourselves 

works miracles 

in our lives. 

    Louise Hay

" Honoluluʻs official bird is one of the only native Hawaiian seabirds flourishing in downtown. These birds are strikingly beautiful with white plumage, black eyes, and black bill. They nest in trees along busy roads, beaches, and even 

small boat harbors." Link

Here a baby white tern 

- Manu O Ku - 

waits on it's branch to 

be fed some fish.

The parents build no nests. 

Yes a chick occasionally does fall.

But thoughtful people take them for rehabilitation, or put them back into the tree if warranted.

You will love the ocean. 

It makes you feel small, 

but not in a bad way. 

Small because you 

realize you’re part 

of something bigger.

  Lauren Myracle

Layers of clouds, 

a sky-sweet dream,

Whipped like cream 

in twilight’s gleam.

Palm fronds couch 

the silver spoon—

The cherry? A bright 

near-full moon.

Twilight drift, 

silent and slow,

Palms cradle 

the evening’s glow.

The moon, near full, 

ascends in peace—

A quiet sky, 

the mind’s release.

Pixie

 I'm so glad 

that you are here...

it makes me realize 

how beautiful

my world is.

Afternoon Warmth By The Sea

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

Encourage people 

in this challenging time 

simply by being kind. 

Remember how we 

used to do it? 

It was no big deal. 

Now it's huge. 

Fortunately, 

we are up to it!

I could conquer the 

world with one hand 

as long as you`re 

holding the other.

and wielding  glaives

above a sea of tiger lilies.

 Holly Black -

Lilies bloom when 

we laugh together.

 Suyasha Subedi

I set out to find my peace 

in the skies and the tulips,

in the howling of the winds, 

in the rain under the shed 

and it was right there 

residing within me.

Long shadows drift

across warm cement, the cup stands upright,

left behind.

Evening gathers

what daylight spent,

life feels forlorn

and yet

somehow kind.

Dreaming Together

A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

If it seems a childish thing to do, do it in remembrance that you are a child. Frederick Buechner

Iconic Rainbow Tower at Hilton Hawaiian Village, Waikīkī, 1968, designed by artist Millard Sheets (1907–1989). Over two million glass tiles, celebrate Hawai‘i’s natural beauty and spirit of aloha. One of Honolulu’s most recognizable landmarks.

Live vertically, not horizontally.

       Shannon L. Alder

Rise to the occasion 

which is life!

Virginia Euwer Wolff

A dream you dream alone 

may be a dream,

but a dream two people 

dream together is a reality.

John Lennon
