Mystery Entirety

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Each time dawn appears, 

the mystery is there 

in its entirety. 

          Rene Daumal

Our folly was that we

listened to the crows

when we should have

listened to the doves. Anthony T. Hincks

Grace – the humble, gentle, 
calm and acceptant
human spirit that helps us
affirm the dark, and
inspires us to
seek the light.
Neena Verma

What is more basic

than the need

to be known?

It is the entirety

of intimacy,

the elixir of love,

this knowing. Audrey Niffenegger

"The photographer"

(To the the tune of The Gambler)

Know when to shoot them.

Know when to scoot them.

Know when to walk away.

Know when to stay.

You never look at

your pictures

when you're standing

on the sidewalk.

There'll be time enough

for looking

when the walking's done.

Still Here

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Be like the moon
and inspire people
even when you're
far from full.
K. Tolnoe

Naps are nature's way

of reminding you that

life is nice, like a

beautiful swinging hammock...

Peggy Noonan

It is almost impossible

to watch a sunset

and not dream.

Bernard Williams

I feel the wave
But do not drown.
It rises up
Then settles down.

My breath is here
My feet, the ground
I stay with what is real,
Not go round and round.

Mind may race,
Heart may pound,
But I choose calm,
Healing sounds.

Not every thought
Must pull me in—
Let it pass
Refuse to spin.

I pause. I breathe.
I gently steer.
I am safe
And I'm still here.

all casting their vote—

Sunbeams For A Stormy Crown

 

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

The dawn is not distant,

nor is the night starless;

love is eternal.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

We’re so close to Earth

that sometimes we forget

how beautiful it is.

Thích Nhất Hạnh

 Hope is being able to see 

that there is light 

despite all the darkness.

   Desmond Tutu 

When a dark thought

comes to call, don’t fight it, don’t push it

down, don’t stall.

Gently send a

bright thought down— sunbeams for

a stormy crown.

Trade the heavy

for the light,

and walk in peace,

not by might.

The mind will follow

where you lead—

one change of thought

is all you need.

Humility Ability

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Hope begins in the dark,
the stubborn hope that
if you just show up and
try to do the right thing,
the dawn will come.
Anne Lamott

We nurture our creativity when

we release our inner child.

Let it run and roam free.

It will take you on

a brighter journey.

  Serina Hartwell

The foolish seek happiness

in the distance; 

the wise

      grows it underfoot.     

           James Openheim

Humility is the ability
to give up your pride
and still retain
your dignity.
