If So You Are Rich

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Take pride that even though

the rest of the world

may disagree,

you still believe it to

be a beautiful place.

    Iain S. Thomas

One of the secrets of life is 

that all that is really worth doing 

is what we do for others.

Lewis Carroll

What sunshine is to flowers,

smiles are to humanity.

    Joseph Addison

Photography for me is not

looking, it’s feeling.

If you can’t feel

what you’re looking at,

then you’re never going

to get others to feel

anything when they look

at your pictures. Don McCullin

Do you have someone 

or something in your life

that you wouldn't take

a million dollars for? 

If So

You Are Rich!

The only thing Harry liked
about his own appearance
was a very thin scar on his
forehead that was shaped

The kind of smile
that has kept a froggy,
dark sort of surprise
in its back pocket,
and won't spoil it
too soon.

The Willingness

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Character — the willingness

to accept responsibility

for one’s own life —

is the source from which

self-respect springs.

    Joan Didion

You're all incredibly

thoughtful souls

who keep my head

attached to my body.

Jenny Sampirisi

Thank YOU!

Silence fell like a hammer

made of feathers.

It left holes in the shape

of the sound of the sea.

Confidence is like a dragon

where, for every head

cut off, two more

heads grow back.

The world is round and

the place which may seem

like the end may also be

only the beginning.

Observations

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Happiness is always

on the other side

of being teachable.

Shannon L. Alder

Barringtonia asiatica is a species of Barringtonia native to mangrove habitats from islands of the Indian Ocean in the west to tropical Asia and islands of the western Pacific.   Wikipedia

When we are fairly observant

and overly patient,

a vibration of happiness

might crop up unwittingly,

- as we capture the

“timelessness” of a lucky

moment and a sparkle of

a stray instant, unexpectedly,

enraptures our life in a

blaze of color and splendor.

   Erik Pevernagie

For I was indeed a student

of human nature, as

every orphan and hooker

and unwanted kid must be.

    Carol Edgarian, Vera

To schedule life

is to miss it.

  Craig D. Lounsbrough

One gets the guru

one deserves.

Better Times

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I don't think of

all the misery, but

of the beauty

that still remains.

     Anne Frank

Sorrow prepares you for joy.

It violently sweeps everything

out of your house, so that

new joy can find

space to enter.

It shakes the yellow leaves

from the bough

of your heart, so that

fresh, green leaves can grow

in their place. Whatever sorrow

shakes from your heart,

far better things will

take their place. Rumi

The Sorin Birds Caught My Eye in the

Morning Half-Light

The sōrin (相輪, lit. alternate rings)

is the vertical shaft (finial)

which tops a Japanese pagoda,

The sōrin of a wooden pagoda is

usually made of bronze .

Dialogue with a Buoy

Everybody has barriers

and obstacles. If you

look at them as hurdles

that strengthen you

each time you

go over one,

then you're going to

be a success.

Benjamin Carson

Contradictations

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Red serpents, fiery forms,

and yelling hags,

Fit company for

mad adventurers. Philip Freneau

The person you call an enemy

is an exaggerated aspect of

your own shadow self.

   Deepak Chopra

When we are aware of

our weaknesses or

negative tendencies,

we open the opportunity

to work on them. Allan Lokos

Opposites attract. 

Birds of a feather flock together.

Great minds think alike.

Fools seldom differ.

Absence makes the

heart grow fonder.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Even when you do not feel

big-hearted, you can give

yourself permission to

act that way. Lama Willa Miller

Where Hearts Grow

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Greed are the handcuffs

and gratitude is the key.

Sadly, sometimes we prefer

wearing the cuffs to

finding the keys. Craig D. Lounsbrough

We are more accustomed

to seeing pink ginger

from the side like this.

Everything that slows us down

and forces patience, everything

that sets us back into the

slow circles of nature, is a help.

       May Sarton

It takes real heart

to make beauty

out of the stuff that

makes us weep.

      Clive Barker

When we give cheerfully

and accept gratefully,

everyone is blessed.

   Maya Angelou

It doesn’t matter how

strong or capable you are;

if you don’t have a big heart,

you will not succeed.
