Accept

 

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

With true friends

even water drunk together

is sweet enough.

Chinese proverb

Don't ever get so big

or important that you

can not hear and listen

to every other person. John Coltrane

Our lives

teach us who we are.

Salman Rushdie

Kindness comes easily

once you set it free 

It's how you respond 

With humanity.

When you meet 

their need for grace

In a small, unguarded,

human place

Humbly accept

if their gratitude shows

circulating righteous flows.

A thank you isn’t

a weight or a claim—

it isn’t a spotlight

calling your name.

It’s part of your giving,

the other side—

a hand returning,

open, wide.

For now just stay—

let it land,

not held too tight,

just gently in hand.

Meet their eyes,

Let it be.

A quiet exchange

Of dignity.

Then something completes—

unforced, unplanned—

When kindness circles

and comes back to land.

Screen Of The Ordinary

 

 A  L  O  H  A

The positive energy and love we give to others, heals our own wounds. Angie Karan

Behind the screen of the ordinary can be found unique and wonderful things. Ted Kooser

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

Sign Of Nobility

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Happiness is 

not a destination.

It is a method of life.

Burton Hills

Gratitude 

is the sign 

of noble souls.

                   Aesop

Stay positive, 

all other choices 

are pointless 

punishments 

to your psyche.

            Joe Peterson

It does not matter how long 

you are spending on the earth, 

how much money you have gathered or 

how much attention you have received. 

It is the amount of positive vibration 

you have radiated in life that matters.

Grass Grows By Itself

 

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Twins At this hour the sky leans down— looking to remember. Water holds it, as it always does kissing

this other self. Between them,

a private vow— two yet

never separate. Dusk (or dawn?) they let themselves blur, one into the other

forever and an age.

Here as witness we too are doubled— watching and being watched.

Admiring ourselves.

Cloudia Charters

A wise one changes their mind, a fool never will. Spanish Proverb

Hula is the heartbeat

of the Hawaiian People.

King Kalakaua

Only a person who 

has passed through

the gate of humility 

can ascend to the 

heights of the spirit. 

  Rudolf Steiner

Sitting silently,

doing nothing,

the spring comes and

the grass grows by itself. Osho

If The Ocean

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

If the ocean can 
calm itself so can you. 
We are both salt water 
mixed with air.
    Nayyirah Waheed

May you live 
everyday of your life.
             Jonathan Swift

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

I set out to find my peace

in the skies and the tulips,

in the howling of the winds,

in the rain under the shed

and it was right there

residing within me. Suyasha Subedi

Gratitude is the 

quiet spark that turns 

ordinary moments into 

a flame of peace 

and contentment.

Every day 

we have a choice.

How you see the world

determines 

the world you see.

Look for the good.

See the possibilities.

Remember, challenges

are opportunities.

Inhabited Garden

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Have a spirit so beautiful
that when people see you
all they notice is your glow.
Germany Kent

I place a high moral value

on the way people behave. I find it repellent to have a lot, and to behave with anything other than courtesy in the old sense of the word - politeness of the heart, a gentleness of the spirit. Fran Lebowitz

In hard times, people don't want to be told to look on the bright side. They want to know you're on their side. Adam Grant

Crinum asiaticum, a type of spider lily

A star 

never lets anything

dull its sparkle,

not even darkness.

 Matshona Dhliwayo

Sometimes the most urgent

and vital thing you can

possibly do is take

a complete rest.

To know someone who thinks & feels with us, and who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden. Goethe
