Truly

Truly appreciate life, 
and you'll find that 
you have more of it.
               Ralph Marston

Ulu (Breadfruit) (Artocarpus altilis), Tree of the mulberry family (Moraceae). It's large fruits are a staple food of the South Pacific and other tropical areas. Breadfruit contains considerable amounts of starch and is seldom eaten raw. It may be roasted, baked, boiled, fried, or dried and ground into flour.

Ulu is such an iconic motif!

The leaves and breadfruit itself

are a historic and popular

Hawaiian Quilt Pattern.

The breadfruit is a superb tree, about 60 feet high, with deep green, shining leaves, a foot broad, sharply and symmetrically cut, worthy, from their exceeding beauty of form, to take the place of the acanthus in architectural ornament Isabella Bird "Fascinating Woman Explorer"

And So Do I

Walking in the morning takes you to

beautiful places where light and shade

make love. Mohamed Shareef

In shadows and hope

walking back streets

Morning light wisdom 

in a window line

Mundane, Magnificent,

Then the light moves on.

(And so do I)

Imagination

can do strange things

in wild places

loosening the edges

of what we call real

I'm not lost—

just rearranged

 For a moment

belonging to everything

that cannot 

be explained.

A Species Of True Ginger

A L O H A

From

Honolulu

The sun, the earth,

love, friends, our very breath are parts of

the banquet. Rebecca H. Davis

Faces

passing in the street—

How strange,

this crossing of lives, two worlds brushing by in the open air

of the ordinary.

We share the street, we share the light, we share this fragile,

marvelous life.

Strangers, yes— but not entirely.

For a second,

we are characters

in the same story.

Cloudia Charters

Zingiber spectabile is

a species of true ginger, native to Maritime Southeast Asia. It is primarily grown in the West as an ornamental plant, although it has been used in South-East Asia as a medicinal herb. Wikipedia

I am determined to be

cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition. Martha Washington 1st First Lady (FLOTUS) of the USA

Rare Things Carry Quiet Power

 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

Moments for reflection
Seldom seen
deeply felt
Always memorable!

Under a blue moon,
the ordinary remembers
how to become magic.

Once in a blue moon
Wisdom arrives softly,
and just when needed.

Some truths
only reveal themselves
after plenty of silence.
Rare moments can teach
lasting lessons.

Not every night
needs a bright moon;
some nights need
a wise one.

When the moon rises,
pause and listen.
Finally, the heart
understands
what the mind has
been seeking.

Cloudia Charters

We all have two lives.
The second one starts
when we realize
we only have one.

overlooked.

Cookie Jar

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Life is full of beauty.
Notice it. Notice the
bumble bee, the small child,
and the smiling faces.
Smell the rain, and
feel the wind. Live
your life to the fullest
potential, and fight
for your dreams.
Ashley Smith

If you look the right way,
you can see that
the whole world
is a garden.
Frances Hodgson Burnett

Each person you meet is an aspect of yourself, clamoring for love. Eric Micha'el Leventhal

I want to take 
all our best moments, 
put them in a jar, and 
take them out like cookies 
and savor each one 
of them forever.
