Waffle Surfing

The climb is always steep just before you reach your goal. Holley Gerth 



Wahine  surfing on a waffle!

Yield to temptation.

 It may not pass 

your way again. 

        Robert A. Heinlein





Ours is a real conversation, 
 both truth and kindness 
are present.

We find our own kind of rhythm. 

Some visit daily, others 
come when you can. 
I think we are building trust,
 making room for 
genuine connection. 


When we join, 
even distance 
feels shared, not empty
Thank YOU Friends!

"Beware of dog,” 
the sign declares,
Yet past the gate
what chaos flares!
A garden tangle, and look inside!
Time collects and cannot hide.
The dog just grins
—its eyes quite wise—
Guarding wonders in disguise.

Welcomed

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
The charm of fishing is 

that it is the pursuit of 

what is elusive but attainable, 

a perpetual series of 

occasions for hope.

When it rains,

look for rainbows. 

When it’s dark, 

look for stars.

Smile at strangers 

and you just might

The music is not 

in the notes, but in 

the silence between.

 I am home In the here, 

in the Now

In the ultimate I dwell

Branches

A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu
Worrying does not take 

away tomorrow's troubles. 

It takes away today's peace. 

           Randy Armstrong




If what I say 
resonates with you, 
it is merely because we 
are both branches 
on the same tree.
             W. B. Yeats

On the morning air they drift—
tiny worlds of light and breath—
bubbles gleaming on the street,
quiet miracles out of thin air.

Morning breath made visible,
laughter of light in motion.
tiny moons of soap and sun
bubbles bloom and vanish.

Floating through traffic
From nowhere they appear
soft glories of pause,
asking nothing but to shine.
Cloudia Charters





Only through emotions 

can you encounter 

the force field of your soul.

Any fool can criticize, 
condemn, and complain

and self-control to be 
understanding & forgiving.

Of Value

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

I have always believed, and

I still believe, that whatever good

or bad fortune 

may come our way

we can always give it meaning 

and transform it into 

something of value.

         Hermann Hesse







Thank you, sun,

for waking me—

with light and hope,

setting shadows free.

A grateful heart

I offer thee,

for this bright gift—

O happily!





You don’t have to cross

rivers under fire,

or chase the sound of

sirens in the dark.


Bless those who do—

and bless those too

who carry quiet light,

keeping good alive,

Who shine it softly

through all they do!

Pixie


Those who bring sunshine 

to the lives of others cannot 

keep it from themselves.

Calm In Each Day

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
God puts rainbows in the clouds 
so that each of us - in the dreariest 
and most dreaded moments - 
can see a possibility of hope.     
      Maya Angelou


Never be haughty 
to the humble  or 
humble to the haughty.  
Jefferson Davis




Out of your vulnerabilities 
will come your strength.
Sigmund Freud







There's calm in each 
and every day, we 
just need to practice 
reaching out for it.

How You Do It

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
There are two things 
a person should never 
be angry at, what 
they can help, and 
what they cannot.
      Plato




Kindness is the sunshine 
in which virtue grows.
        Robert Green Ingersoll


Your mission on this earth is 2% WHAT you do, 98% HOW YOU DO IT.


What matters is
that we let our lives
be guided by Love.
