Balcony Lights

We are each gifted in a unique and important way. It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light. Mary Dunbar

When you are not sure, 

flip a coin because while 

the coin is in the air, you

realize which one 

you are actually hoping for.

        Jay Shetty

In the dark, 

they shimmer —

not stars, 

but kind reminders.

Someone chose 

to keep the glow,

to say: the season 

never ends.

Look up, 

and joy returns —

small colored lights,  

steadfast,

whispering: 

you are not alone.

At school, 

they asked me 

what I wanted to be 

when I grew up. 

I wrote "happy’'

A dragon so colorful 

it doesn’t breathe fire, 

but rainbows and opinions.

 If it sneezes, 

it’ll paint the clouds!

A dragon so bright, 

even glowing clouds 

stop by to take notes.

Dragon flutters

 through the sky 

like a dream 

painting itself.

The sky’s 

favorite daydream!

Life is beautiful

and meaningful indeed. I took pleasure when I could. I acted clearly and morally and without regret. I am very lucky. Always keep your smile. That's how I explain my long life. Jeanne Louise Calment *

21 February 1875 – 4 August 1997, Super-centenarian

The only 

impossible journey

is the one 

you never begin.

    Anon Y. Mouse

Puppy bounds through 

waves of glee,

Tail a flag 

of happy esprit.

In his romp, 

pure joie de vivre!

We don't even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward. The human capacity for survival and renewal is awesome. Isabel Allende

When Compassion

 A  L  O  H  A 
From

H O N O L U L U

Peace begins 

when the mind stops 

fighting reality.

When greed softens.

When hatred is not fed.

When compassion 

becomes action.

   Buddha

Look at other people 

and ask yourself if you are 

really seeing them or just 

your thoughts about them.... 

Without knowing it, we are coloring everything, putting our spin on it all.

                     Jon Kabat-Zinn

Light leans gently 

against the glass, 

unsure which side 

it belongs to.

In her gaze,

the world grows still,
A shimmer born

of moonlit will.
She loves as stars love—

soft, aloof,
Yet curls at dusk

beneath my roof.

Cloudia & Pixie

We Love

YOU!

Walk the bright edge  

between giving and keeping:  

share what overflows,  

guard what is still ripening.  

Every true spark

Is mutual.

Each Morning

 A  L  O  H  A

Each morning we 

are born again. 

What we do today is

what matters most.

                          Buddha

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men. Roald Dahl

I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day. Vincent van Gogh

True wisdom lies in 

gathering the precious things 

out of each day as it goes by.

May the fire in your soul, 

burn down 

all the fences and 

walls which 

this society is trying 

to build around you.

           Akshay Vasu

Mergansers (California)

 Never be in a hurry; 

do everything quietly 

and in a calm spirit. 

Do not lose your 

inner peace for 

anything whatsoever, 

even if your 

whole world 

seems upset. 

             Saint Francis de Sales

Love the life you live live the life you love. Bob Marley

every thing would appear

Infinite.

Ah There YOU Are

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

This world is like a mountain. 

Your echo depends on you. 

If you scream good things, 

the world will give it back. 

If you scream bad things, 

the world will give it back. 

 Change your heart to 

change the world.

    Shams Tabrizi 

 All human beings 

are also dream beings. 

Dreaming ties 

all mankind together. 

Jack Kerouac 

Happiness resides 

not in possessions 

and not in gold; the 

feeling of happiness 

dwells in the soul.  

  Democritus 

There are two types of people:

 Those who come into a room

 and say,

 'Well, here I am!',

and those who say,

'Ah, there you are.'

Frederick L. Collins
